Quick wheel questoin and i have already searched. I am about to order wheels for my 3/4 ton conversion i am going to run 15's cause i have good 15 inch tires. I was looking on national wheel and tire, at the eaton 15" steel wheels and it says 3.5" back spacing for minimal caliper grinding, but wouldn't i be able to grind lest with 2.5" back spacing. I just wanted to clear this up before i order. thanks for the info fellas.:bow:http://www.ntwonline.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=48&Product_ID=2202&CATID=11
Edit: i will probly buy procomp extreme rockcrawler steel wheels.
 
I ordered the 15x8 because it was cheeper and these will do for now. Some day i want to run some hummer h1's.
 
I got the 15x8 because I wanted a bead lock effect. I had 15x10 and popped the tire off the bead at low pressure(about 8 psi), now it is not a problem.
 
Narrower is definitely better if you're running low pressure. I never do, so I'm more concerned about even wear across the tread.

Plus deeper wheels look better. :D
