15 X 8 Steelies

Post by t-waits »

I am looking to change the look of my truck and thinking about going from the 80s Ford wagon style wheel I am currently running to 15 X 8 steelies. I searched and saw a few pictures of rides in the forum with them and think they are great but didn't find much in the way of tire sizes on them. I would like to know what tire your running on any 15 X 8 wheel for ideas on mine.

Thanks

I ran across an article from one of the Ford magazines showing that the Ford 15" wheel center OD matches the gm 15x8 rally wheel rim ID perfectly... so you can actually build your own.

Bear in mind, the article refers the 5 on 4.5 pattern centers but if the 5 on 5.5 center has a 13.25" OD, you're good to go.
