i'm looking into getting a chevy d44 8 lug. my question is, can i run a 15 diameter wheel? i know most chevy's use a 16" wheel. i am wondering b/c i've already bought my tires and was planning on using them w/ a set of waggy 44's but changed my mind.

thanks-

russel

yes.

DUH........ that's common place... other wize how would chevy's run all the various tire sizes...... any wheeler should know that

whats with your name Olivesman you must be whipped? are you married yet? wwwwwwwwwwpppppppppppssssssssssssshhhhhhhhh (whip Crack)

With 8-lug you can only use steel 15" wheels. Alloys aren't even made in 15" 8-lug. Depending on offset, you still may need to grind a little material off the calipers, but it is a safe and common practice.

yes-- I do it.

Anyone put you up for a promotion lately in the Department of Redundancy Department? They should ;)

thanks for replies guys. how about a Ford Dana 60 rear w/ drums. 8 lug.

thanks again-russel

I don't think drums in the rear have a clearence problem but rear disks need a 15 in with 2.5" back spacing to avoid cutting and grinding.
