Which is the best size of the wheels, front and back and the tires for a custom Pickup, that means back wheels and tires much bigger than the front ones ?

Whats your budget like. I got some Foose Classic wheels in stock if you want them. The Nitrous and the Legend would looks real sweet in chrome or black.

Hi Mypane,

I am looking for steel wheels like that:

or

I thought front 15x6 with 215/75/15 (is that the original tire size ?) and back 15x8 with 255/60/15.

Does that fit under the 3100 ?

Or do you have better recomandation ?

I'm running 15X7 215/75/15s on the front with 15X8 235/75/15 on the rear.

You can see my ride in readers rides to see the stance.. a bit more than I wanted.



I like your 255/60/15 suggestion as long as you have clearance to the cross rails under the bed.  I had to chamfer my rails to gain clearance.

Steelies are nice too. What I do have in stock is not a OEM replacement wheel. I stock more of the aftermarket stuff.
