Re: what do you guys think about these wheels for my truck....

Wheels would look sweet. I don't think you would want to go less that 15-7 in front. Remember its a truck not a pony car. As far as I see the 15" tire is becoming out of date and tires are becoming scarce.

I have 15-3.5 on the front of my cuda and I have no clue what I'm going to do for that.

That would look great, IMO. I like the wheels you have on there, though. It's a toss up.

You can get the tires they used on the front of old VW bugs. They look racey and fit narrow wheels great. We used them on the front of my Dad's Mustang and they worked great.

You should look for a 155 or 165/SR-15. We found ours on Ebay.

I like the welds, They'll look good, BUT I wouldn't change a thing on it. I love the rims you have now!
