Default Weld Wheels look alike + drag radials pics

I have been wanting a pair of Weld Wheels to mount my M/T drag radials on but they are not offered with our truck bolt pattern. I found these look alikes sold by Pacer with a 6x5.5 bolt circle.. They were 15x8's so I sent them to WeldcraftWheels and had them widened to 10-1/2". The M/T's are 315/60r15.
With the 6-1/2" backspace they will tuck under the rear fenders nicely.

Go to Pacerwheels.com and you can fnd the nearest dist. or retailer to you. They normally sell for a little over $100. I got mine at a steal for $63 each. It cost $300 to have them widened 2-1/2". They also have them in 16x8".

those are very nice!
i've been looking around for a long time and can't find jack.

on that 14bolt of yours, are you running a disc or drum brake setup? just wondering if the brake setup is similar to my 10bolt. i ask this b/c awhile back i wanted to send my stock wheels off to the same place to have them widend 3".

as i looked into it some more, i found out that i would have problems with the rim hitting the calliper. this is with a 16" rim and would be worse with a 15" rim.

between the rim and that bolt on the calliper in this pic, there is 1" clearance.
