Hello!

I am thinking of doing a pretty good overhaul to my truck and there are so many things to think about! I have many of them squared away however what kind and where to buy rims is kind of stumping me.

I don't want anything flashy at all, just black steal rims, but I dont really know anything about them. I am thinking of getting these tires:

Can someone point me in the correct direction to what size rims (wheels) i need to put these bad boys on?

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks a ton!

Check www.summitracing.com for some 15x8 with 3.75" backspacing. :thumbsup:

Cheap black steelies are
AR 767
Cragar Soft 8
Rock Crawlers

I'm going to move this to the tires and wheels forum.

oops! thanks for the move, still getting used to the lay out of the forums!

Thanks a bunch for the info!

are these the right ones? Worried about the size of the hole in the center for the auto hubs to stick through...

That's exactly what you want. They'll fit over the hub fine.

Bought my crager soft 8's from here. Paid $185 shipped. Ordered on a Tuesday and got them Thursday.

Asked around at the shops around here and they wanted $212! I said....no.

Just need to get them some tires now!
