Anybody running 15x8 Eagle alloy wheels?

I have a chance to buy a set of 4 15 x 8 Eagle alloy wheels for $300 but I would like to see what they look like mounted and on a 60's truck.

Just wondering if anyone on here has a set on their ride and could post an image?

Re: Anybody running 15x8 Eagle alloy wheels?

I am running 15x10' Eagle wheel's.
Take a look..
I bought these out of a salvage yard for $150.
I had to clean um for 2hrs each but they, turned out to be in really good shape under all the brake dust and grime...

Re: Anybody running 15x8 Eagle alloy wheels?

Well I bought em.

So now if someone could tell me this:

Id like bigger tires in the back and smaller tires in the front.

I am really hoping that I can do that on these wheels.

Where would I go to find out what I can use for tires on these wheels and get the look that I am after?

Thanks again as always.

Re: Anybody running 15x8 Eagle alloy wheels?

Do a search on the forums related to staggered tire sizes. You could go 275/60-15 on the rear and 245/60-15 on the front. Depending on the backspace, you may be able to wider. If you want a taller tire, try 70 series in similar widths.
