15x8 smoothies on the front?
I've looked and found many smoothies on the front but never sure if they were 15x7 or 15x8's. I want to put US Wheel series 51 smoothies on my 56 Task Force but not sure if I should use the 15x8's on the front or go with 15x7's. I currently have 15x7's with 4"BS, and they fit ok...just think they could be a little wider. Any opinions on this or these wheels?

IMO, I would stay with 7's or even 6's. I like the tucked look tho. Might as well throw on some WWW's too.

Re: 15x8 smoothies on the front?
I've got 15 x8's all around with 235 75R 15 tires. They fill the wheel well and clear everything.
I also have 31 10.5R x 15 on 15x7 on the front and they clear everything except the drag link at lock the rears are on 15 x8's with a bit more offset and just clear the fender lips until you put a load in the bed then they rub . And my Napco has 16 x 7's all around with 265 70R 16's. If the truck was 2 wheel drive I think they would also clear everything.

Re: 15x8 smoothies on the front?
I ordered 15x8's for the rear and 15x7's for the front. Wheel Vintiques Smoothies. I was thinking of painting them red, baby moons and no trim rings, any thoughts on that?

Re: 15x8 smoothies on the front?
Funny you mentioned red wheels, I just so happen to have 15x 8's on the rear and 15x7's on the front of the chassis I'm building . Wheel Vintiques Artillery with '41 passenger car caps (not pictured).
Oh and the one on the lift has Micky Thompson N50x14 on 11 inch rims.
