My truck is set up with a hevy duty 44 in front and a 14 bolt in the rear. I have seen some 15 in 8 lug wheels for sale in the for sale section before, and my question is this. Will a 15 inch rim fit over the calipers and rear drums. I have a brand new set of all terrains, 33x12.5x15 and would like to use them if possible. as a new set of tires and wheels is prohibitivley expensive.

ON the front..not w/o grinder mods...unless you get ~2.5" bs or less.

Rear..it'll fit just fine...until you do a disk conversion ;)

If you do a search, this has been covered MANY times. I got so tired of trying to answer this question again and again that I wrote an article to cover it. This is about D60s but, should give you an idea.

All depends on the backspacing! I have seen 3.5" BS fit on 8 lug 44 front with some gringing.

Don't mind doin a little grinding if the price is right. But if I can find some 2.5 in bs rims thatll solve my problem. Thanks for the Info guys
