you could just put a measurement on them...I'm sorta in the same boat the PO but my rallies on my truck but I never really looked at them close enough..but I "assume" they're 8" rims cause they don't appear to be to wide and from picking up info from the board they don't make 6 lug rallies smaller...but in your case being 2wd your's could possibly be on 7" rims too well if your running rallies...what type of rim you got?

Looks like 7" or 8" to me.

crawl under the truck and look at the lip of the rim where the tire meets the rim,my aluminum rims are stamped with the rim size on them 8.5 x 15,,,,

Measure tire width should be 1" wider than rim. 9" would be 8" rim ( if you don't have over size tires)

15x10s are really wide. From the pic they look like 15x8s.

Just stick a tape or ruler through one of the holes, and measure it from the back end to the front end of the wheel. Should be pretty easy on a disc brake truck. Those are most likley a 15x8 wheel, or maybe a 15x7. Would look alot better with some 255/60-15's on the front and back

The next time you go by a tire shop, ask to either borrow their rim calipers or have them do it. Takes about 15 seconds.

From the picture they look like 15x7.
