15" 8 lug wheels

[suntadz]

i was converting my 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton and was wondering if anyone uses 15" 8 lug wheels and how they work on a 14ff. I dont want to get new tires but i have 15" tires now. I see my choice are limited and was wondering what would be a better option or what rims you use. thanks

Eaton HD wheels. $58 each or so. National Tire and Wheel has them on their www site. They are hella beefy and easily fit on a ff14b.

I bought mine from summit. They were $36.00 or $38.00 each but they were white. Cragen wheels.

"Cragar" wheels. I have the black 8x15 d-cutout ones from summit. Had to grind the calipers on the front 60 to get them to fit, but they went right on the rear 70 no prob.

15" wagon wheels on a`71 K/20.The calipers required some grinding along the casting seam:

I had 15"8 lug wheels from weld racing on my k20.You do have to grind the front caliper for clearnce.The rear should clear.I know that welds are $$$ but with bfg mt i could pick the wheel and tire over my head with one hand.Unsprung weight save the stress on the drive train.I know bla bla bla so what.

I run 15X8 8 lug with 4.25 backspacing. I paid $150 for 5 shipped to my door from summit and I scuffed a rattle canned them flat black for 2 hours of time and $10 in paint.

They fit with no mods on my big braked 14FF (13X3.5 drums) and I ground the **** out of my Dana 60.
