He and I both have a set of those, but I'm only using 2 of them on the rear of my beater truck. They are pretty hard to come by though.

Mine are 15 x 6

I have heard, but cannot confirm, that there are some 15 x 5.5" out there as well. Not sure if they are stock from these trucks or not but they look the same. Be careful not to get those, tire choices become even more limited.

James,
ever had one of those wild ideas, that after more thinking you thought, "that was stupid". had one of those today.

I was thinking about getting my old originals out, blasting them, paint them red, throw some bullet lug nuts on there, some narrow ribbed rings, some 205/55's and viola!!!!

thinking about getting some rims/tires on the cheap, but I'm going with these:

Wheel Vintiques, series 12 smoothies, 15 x 7 and '52 Chevy caps. playing it safe and going rally silver........

still have my 5 15 x 8's...... for now
