I wanna go from my 15x10 wheels to a 15x8 or possibly 7 to gain some height from my tires. I'd also like to change my style out. Right now they are just wagons.

Would a 7in wide wheel be too narrow for a 36x12.5 tire?

What backspacing do I need with a wheel 7 or 8in wide?

I'd like to get cheap wheels. Style wise I'm looking for something that looks military, similar to an h1 beadlock wheel. Sorta solid with the small slots. I know what I'm looking for came stock on alot of trucks with 16 and 16.5 wheels but where can I get something similar looking in a 15?
 
I am getting ready to put 15x8 on my 39.5x15x15 so if you got 7" wide rims i dont think they would be to narrow at all for 12.5 tire. Check out 4 wheel parts or national tire and wheel they have sales on procomp steel wheels alot.
 
how about a stock rally, sans trim? I woulda given ya a set but I gave away all my 6 lug stuff..

I just made a big change in my build with that.. went from copper with all satin black ( bumpers, sliders, rims, etc) to copper, satin black stuff and...... Weld super singles for my 38's..... I was gonna go steel, eventually beadlock, etc to blingy alum.... oh well, it'll be on the street a fair amount and I wont be airing down much...

OT, where in Pt are ya? I have quite a few friends there, and spend many a workday there...
 
i ran 35s on a stock chevy rim which i believe is around 7" and i know people that ran 36s so that shouldnt be a problem IMO

Right off of Herbertsville road near St marthas church.

Yeah I was thinking rallys but they are expensive. I wanna go cheap. Maybe I'll call the junkyard and ask em how much some stocker steelies are. What the hell do stocker 15in K truck/ blazer steelies look like anyway?
 
This is the style I want

Stockton wheel in Ca can make you ralley rims in any size you want widthwise , and 15 , 16 , or 17 inch , with beadlocks if you want .

More expensive than a junkyard rim , but they will be true and a lot thicker than stock .

Thats the only problem I ever had with wheeling ralley rims , they like to bend a little if your hitting it hard wheeling .
 
Can't view your pics here, but I'd second the stock ralleys with no trim. 15x8 or 15x7, so be careful when buying.

But I wouldn't pay more than $100 for a whole set. If you get wheel trim that's in good shape, you could probably sell it and recoup some of the cost.

im just sayin you can get cheap rims from them.i think american racing sells them pretty cheap also.i think ive seen those same rims you are looking for on 90s ish pickup 1/2 ton 4x4 pickups.if you can find a set at the J.Y. for a good price.nothing here lasts long anymore.once its there.they strip it and crush em.most only keeping engines and trannys out to sell.i guess they get more selling for scrap than parting out wholy.
 
i just called about theses cragar soft 8 for my hd in 17 by 8 and wow cheap...63 a piece shipped to mt door from summit, put them new gm centers on and perfect.....something cheap like these and easy to clean
