Re: What do yall think

It's really a matter of how much you like the style, and in that size. 15x8 will fit almost any 60-66 reasonably well, but with 15x10 tire selection gets limited and becomes very important to avoid rubbing the sheet metal. Offset of the rims is equally important as to whether they will fit at all. Also check for worn or out of round lug holes. On old aluminum wheels, it is always wise to avoid buying any with tires mounted. Rough mounting or abusive use can cause cracks in the bead seat, which are undetectable until the tires are removed.

If they're what you want, get 'em. Of course I'm kind of partial to the slots anyway.

I'm pretty partial to the slots or Sprint wheels, as well. I have several sets of Ansen Sprints in 15x10 and one set of ex-Funny Car US Wheel 16x12s that I currently run on my truck. If they are in good shape and the backspace and lug pattern you want, go for them.

Re: What do yall think

I have 15x8 with a 4" backspaceing and I rub my swaybar at full turn and I'm running 235-75-r15s so out back I have about 1" clearance on each side. Will they let you put them on before you buy?
