Default This is what you have to do to run 15" wheels

Just a little gringing and your good to go. I bought US Wheels 15x10 with a 4" back spacing they stick out a little to far 8" wide would work better. They sell wheels designed for large brakes. The ID is larger deeper into the wheel.

The "L" in the part number is the "Larger Brake Wheel"

May be an 1/8" . I used a 4" angle gringer then hit it with the belt sander. If your going to the dyno day you can check it out up close.

Yeah no ****. I'm from Beaumont Tx, the storms pretty much trashed most of the gulf coast.... I am just stationed in Va Beach because of this while miltary thing.... you know.... well right now I'm not even there... I am in Iraq... never can tell where I will be fom one day to the next.

-wheels look good. Get some shots with wheels and tires mounted on the truck with it on the ground. I have to see how it looks.

They stick out too far. They don't have a better offset than that?
