Re: Rim and tire size?

15's right now, but I'm not sure what the final ride hieght will be. When I get there, I will probably be going larger.

Re: Rim and tire size?

PM me, I did some research a while ago and got sizes/info on 5-10 trucks and what they run i'd be happy to share

If I don't get back in a day or so, be patient, swamped at work.

Re: Rim and tire size?

thanks corona! the MII front end and the rear end we got for the 50 GMC have 5 x 4-1/2" bolt pattern. we have not had any luck finding 15" steel wheels locally, only 14". is there any draw backs from running 14" wheels? ill still have 26" - 27" overall diameter.

Re: Rim and tire size?

main thing is depends on what brakes u run. 12" rotors most times won't fit in a 15" wheel, let alone a 14
