Need 15x8 painted, or paintable, steel wheels for my 1988 sammi.
where are they on the web??
CHEAP is the key word here folks?
YES...I'm using stock axles...with that screwy lug pattern.

ALSO...what back spacing should I be looking for??

I guess I'll be fitting 31x9.50's...
I do like tall and narrow MT tires!
and it seems like if I really want stuff the wheels up in those wells...
a 10.50 is getting a bit too tight!!!

Prove me wrong with a pic of a stuffed 10.5 tire on a sammi.

Thanks GUYS

Newbie---
1st.......search:flipoff2:
and
2nd.......If your worried about width stay with the standard 3 1/4 or 3.75 offset
Or you can run the norm and get some 33 12.5 tires and 2" BS rims.:flipoff2:

who makes a 31x9.50?
black steel 15x8 3"or 3.25" (not sure exact size) backspace American racing (767's) or the white "Wagon" rims can be had for about $35 just about anywhere the sell 'em, (Sears Auto, NTB, Western Auto type stores)

And they are VERY common bolt patterns too, pretty much every 1/2 ton ford truck ann lots of older jeep use it, and lots more, thats why the 15x8 3'BS rims are plentiful.

I run 31x10.50 on a 15x8 3" BS rims had to cut off bumper support. to turn them, runing 4.5" SPOA with no problems.

my 2"backspaced 15x8 rims should be here today or tomorrow!!! they are unpainted from AR in salt lake city so i am very very excited!!! then on goes the 32x11 swamper ssr's!!! yipee!!!

I thought they were this wierd .397 lug pattern thing?

.397 HUH:question:

the bolt pattern is 5x5.5 (5 lugs on a 5.5" circle)

THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION...

Junk yard Ford F-150 4x4 steel wheels.

7.5 x 15, I run 33x9.5 on them no problem.

Cost about $30 for four, another $40 to get them sandblasted and then pain them.

Don't the OE Ford rims have a smaller hub hole??

They do have the same....but the wrong offset.

This is with the CSC YJ kit spring under with 31x10.5's on 15x8 2.75bs wheels from Petroworks.

I've got a bunch of other pics on my site of when it was spring under (http://home.attbi.com/~rokzuki/csc.htm)

i believe it is the OEM dodge rims that have the smaller hub-hole. thr ford is the same as the zuk. i spent a complete saturday in about 15 junkyards looking for a complete set of rims in a decent offset and in a complete set of 4.....this i have found to be impossible in ogden utah. for some reason people like to remove one rim from a perfect set just to spite me!!! :mad3: so i said screw it and bought custom offset rims.

It's important that the rim you get are 4x4 versions, the 2x4 version has the small hole.

Backspacing is a little over 3" (3-1/4"?).
