WTT or WTB 15x8 6 olts have 2sets of 15x10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need some 15x8 6 lug wheels for my truck and I currently have a 2 sets of modular 15x10 6 bolt wheels. I just need some wheels, they don't need to be in great shape or very pretty, I may just blast them and have them powder coated or something. I blew the bead on the same wheel twice this past saturday while running 10.5" tires on these 10" wheels and I plan on going with 12.5" tires but I still will want 8" wheels for them to hold the bead better.

Oh and if you ever wondered if using ether to re-set the bead on a tire works, it does, I now have experience.

The first set is a chrome outer with a black middle and the simulated bolts around the middle.

The second set are all chrome and one has a spot where a bit of chrome came off the middle, and a couple have some rust around the center bolt ring.

I can get pics of them tomorrow afternoon.

Also if someone has a set of 33x12.5" tires and is looking for some 31x10.5 I have a very good set of Hoosier Radial D/T tires, about 4k miles or so on them, have worn perfectly and have lots of tread.

I'm not terribly far from fayetteville. Could you get any pics or something? I need some tires with decent tread, but don't need to be new or anything, i'm also a little wary about aluminum wheels and off-road, worried about what will happen to them if I blew a bead and had to drive a very short distance on the rim, afraid the aluminum wheels would get eaten up. Also, what kind of tires are they? I'm looking for M/T's but may settle for A/T's if they look alright.

i could probably get some pics around friday they are in a storage building and i don't get off work till dark(flash on camera is broke) the tires are A/T pretty much just roll arounds though but i think they might have about 1000 left in them or you could just mount your 31s as far as blowing a bead i have ran 15x8 on my toyota for 5 yrs and never blew one 31s, 33s, and now 35s and i'm not exactly going easy on it but anyway let me know and i will get pics asap-joe

Yeah but i'm running 10" wheels with a 10.5" wide tire. And also had a power-steering pump on its way out.

Send me some pics of those wheels if you don't mind.
