Need wheels and/or tires !

Hi,
Brand new to the forum.
I'm in the middle of an axle swap, and I am having difficulty finding the proper 8-lug setup required by the new axles.

Originally, I had 15x10 (6-lug) z-racing rims with 315/70R15's. The tires and rims are in good shape. The new axles came with 16.5x12.5 Weld deep dish rims and 35x14.5x16.5 MT baja belted's. The 16.5 tires are in bad shape.

So I basically have two options.
1. Find 15x10 - 8 lug rims, and use my old 315/70R15 tires (and thus sell both old and new rims) or
2. Find better 35x14.5x16.5 tires and sell old rims and tires.

I really like the deepdish 16.5's, but from what I've seen, the tires are very pricey and geared for off-road use. I primarily will use the truck to tow a boat and therefore mostly paved surfaces. I have attached pitcures of the old and new rims, as well as the truck with both setups.

Looking here for buy/sell/trade options and opinions.

Great forum, by the way!

I like the tread design. Any idea how much they are? I'm guessing +$200 each. Probably not too many used ones kicking around, either.

first off welcome to the great ck5.com club.

second you need to have posted in the wanted section. not the sale section.

thirdly where in ny are you zip code? as i have some rims i could sell but shipping usaly kills the deals as to weight .

I'm out on Long Island - 11743.
I'll repost in the wanted section, but I do need to get rid of the old rims and maybe the 16.5 rims as well depending on how this turns out.

I travel a bit so maybe I can pick them up if you are not too far away.

Thanks!
