the ones i posted... do you see anything wrong with them?
They will stick out of the fenders about 3-3.5 inches too far. It kinda makes it look like one of those chopper trikes from the front of the truck. You won't even sweat it the first time you launch out on a 28x11.5x15 slick though.

I always stay clear of anything ugly, primered, or anything that has just raw steel/fiberglass on it on the street......Ricers excluded.

I haven't looked, but I remember a good many 4x4 people talking about the Crager Soft 8s as being a fairly inexpenisve wheel. All the people I have seen post about 15x8+ as track wheels for these trucks have had terrible backspacing. You would need around 7" of backspacing on a 10" wheel for it to be in the fenders.

*edit* Just checked summit and the cragers are $46 for a 15x10 with 4" backspacing.

You'd spend it in a minute if you ever got to launch on a tire that size!!!

eh idk really, probably not

i think im going to run a little 26" tall MT DR and just stick with my 16" wheels... a shorter wheel will use more of my gearing right? I dont need that much sidewall do i? I noticed before with the 26" tall et street that my trap speeds were higher.
