15" wheels on 3/4 ton axles

[Mikey von]

Just wondering what it takes to run 15" wheels on a 8 lug 10 bolt and a 14 bolt semi-floater? I want to convert the 14 to discs.

I have been searching for used 35" tires and finally found some nice ones locally, but they are 15's.

What are the pros/cons to running 15's instead of 16" or 17" wheels?

only modification with that set-up is a little bit of grinding on the front calipers. Rears will fit just fine.

Mine fit without any grinding. They do have 2.75" backspace.

yes i forgot to mention if you go with the 2.75 backspacing you wont have any grinding... same goes if you go D60 front

is that a deep offset? like a deep dished rim? BS is from the mounting surface to the inside bead right?

yes, the 2.75 will have the deep dish look, the wheel will stick out further from the fender. To measure backspacing lay a straight edge over the back side of the wheel. Take a tape measure and go from the wheel mounting surface and measure up to the straight edge, that will give you backspacing
