Default 16x9s?

I'm looking for a cheap set of 16x9" wheels for slicks. I wouldn't mind running 9 or 10" width as long as they fit under the truck. If anyone has pictures of their wheels on the truck please post.

Here ya go.....the rears......these are 16x 9.5 centerline's, I am not sure what the backspacing is but they were on the truck when I got it! I ran some 26x12.5x16 ET Streets on them but have since grinded the crap outta my calipers so I can run 15" slicks.

I have the slicks on a 16x8. They would sit better on a 9 or 10, they can't stick out at all though.

Old school wheels work fine.....I even run 15x8 on mine after grinding the calipers.....they stick out the side of the truck some but actually got a cool race truck look.

So your saying that you dont have to grind your calipers for the 15x10's? I had to take a ton out of mine for 15x8's.....I couldnt imagine the tens! My 16x9.5's required no grinding at all.

Sorry that sounded right when I wrote it. I am not going to grind my calipers so I will not be able to use the 15x10s that I have.
