You'll wanna get 15x8's with either 4" or 3.75" backspacing. What size tire are you running? You can also get 1"-1.5" wheelspacers to make your rims stick out further.

I got the stock size 235/75/r15. And I don't want wheel spacers just because of the problems Iv heard about I'm.

I had a set of 1.5" spacers on mine for over two years with 285/75/16 on stock XLT wheels a 1.75" TT, LS and 3" BL and didn't have any issue's. With stock wheels and tires you won't have any issue's. It's when people go with oversized tires and deep offset wheels and add spacers when there's problems.

Here's mine...

 

[bambangs334]

I got the base model rims that are getting scratched and I want some black rims too. What if I got the pro comp 52 series and just put on my stock tires with spacers?

 

[MidnightRebel07]

I'd just get a set of the wheels you want in a 15x8 with 3.75" backspacing, this will give you a wider wheel (if youever decide to go with a bigger tire size) and stick out where you want them to.

 

[bambangs334]

Will 15x8s fit my 235/75/15

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Yep.

 

[bambangs334]

Would 2.5 in back spacing push. Them out more or less?

 

[OffTrac]

More, a good bit more.

 

[bambangs334]

okay cuz i mean its $4 more on 4wheelparts so why not haha

Midnight posted this in a thread a while back when I was looking at all this stuff. Its a little difficult at first but really helpful to learn what all the dimensions actually mean.
