I just got off the phone with James and he quoted me $200 a rim to widen my stock steel wheels. www.weldcraftwheels.com Not too hateful for what Im going for, but I figured I would ask if anyone has some stock steel rims for sale or knew someone OR if anyone had any other ideas??

Looking at doing 15x10 in the rear and possible 15x9 upfront. I would like to keep the stock hubcaps and keep em black.



Here is a link to my build thread with pics of the truck.

4/6 Bell Tech kit.
A 4.5in backspace on the rear will result in tire rubbing on the fender lip, you need a 5in backspace on the rear and a 4in max in the front

Even with a 275/60-15?

It will be close. This is a 5in drop with 15x10...5in backspace with a 295/50/15.

You can still run them but dips and steep turns might rub.
