Summit racing .com 15x10 with no more than 2.75 inch back spacing. I will be ordering 15x10 w/2.50 bs bare steel no paint or chrome $80 each for my 39.5x13.50x15 iroks and powder coat them black.

so they will stick out pretty far out the fenders? also they will fit my 14 bolt drums?

15" wheels fit over drums just fine. I ran 15x10's with 4.25 backspacing over the largest drums on a 14BFF.

The fitment issue is on the front axle. D44/10B require clearancing the backplate and some of the caliper. Dana 60 requires more clearancing of the calipers.

2.5" backspacing will greatly reduce the amount of grinding, but yes will stick out farther.

 

[blackk5350]

so the higher number backspacing for example 4.000 makes the wheel stay in the fender while a 2.75 makes them stick out?

 

[MTBLAZER89]

yes backspacing is the measurement from the inner edge of the wheel to the wheel mounting surface.

I got these from 4WP at one of their local parking lot sales. 5 wheels in 15x8 with 4.25" BS, 8 lug. All 5 for $125. Check to see if 4WP has a similar parking lot sale in your area. I looked high and low for many months so I could still use my 15" BFG AT's that are still in great shape.
