I'm looking for some 15" 8 lug steelies for my 14bFF swap. I've found a few places that sell them but they are only rated at 1500 lbs each all the other "normal" wheels are over 2k. will that be enough for my K5? loaded w/ tool/spares/passengers and going up hill.............what do you guys think. the brands are Unique (America's Tire/Discount Tire) and US Wheel. these are the regular looking white D spokes w/ red/blue pin stripes around (also have black, & chrome)
I also found on Pirate4x4 used H1 beadlocks w/ used 36's - 8 on 6.5, 16.5x9 w/ internal runflat rings that lock the beads. the stock backspacing is 7", but he can re-center to whatever I want (4.25") the tires are used goodyear 36x12.50's bias ply. I'm leery about the re-centering but looks like a lot of guys are running the w/ huge tires 40+. anyone have experience w/ these?
