WWYD: K10 SWB on Mags

what would you do?

I have always loved mags. I've got a set of 15x10's and currently only two 15x8's. I can't decide which to use. My truck is a 72 k10 shortbed, I'm going to be putting a 4" lift on it and some new 33x12.50 BFG all terrain tires.

My truck (as of today):

I like the 15X10 myself. What state do you live in?

I like the slot wheels too. I'd go with the 10".

The tens just give the whole truck a much more substantial look, dare I say meaty?

If he is saying the ones on the blazer pic are 8's Id say those look pretty meaty to me =)

The tens look good too, another one of those personal preference threads

Re: WWYD: K10 SWB on Mags

I ran 15x8.5 slot mags for years on a 74 K10, the off-set was such that the tires were right out at the edge of the fender wells.
So my point is, the off-set has a lot to do with the decision. If the 15x8's set the tires out to the edge of your fender wells, I would run them. If the 15x10's stick the tires out 1 or 2inches from the fender, do you want to deal with the rock chips and water and mud spraying all over the truck every time you drive it?
