I can remember a thread that had all this information in it but after several searches, including google I haven't found the info I need.

Ordering new rims for my square for Christmas. Black Bulletholes from Summit racing. I am riding on 31x10.50 R 15's right now and my tires are good so I want to stick with 15 inch rims. Still have factory 10 bolts. Just want to make sure I get the right rims. I wouldn't mind if the backspacing made the tires stick out further beyond the fenders but I just want to make sure that they will mount properly and nothing rubs and that the center bore is right.

This appears to be my selection: http://www.summitracing.com/search/...e&SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending

Any help is greatly appreciated, I can repay in the form of truck porn. :naughty:

I believe the stock 6 lug rallys are 15x8 with 4in backspace. The less bs the more they will stick out.

Those wheels will probably have more clearance than stock rallys. 3.75in backspace should be fine.

Thanks John! I'm glad to hear the cheapest rims will work, I should have some extra cash to play around with and get some new taillights. Now I gotta comvince to tire shop down the street to trade my Nexen Roadian ATII for a pair of used Maxxis Buckshots to go on the new rims
