I see there are a few 15" rims available from U.S. Wheel in a GM 8 lug bolt pattern. Has anybody tried them out on 3/4 ton GM truck with disk brakes in the rear. I have some 15" drag tires from my 1/2ton I would like to run on my 8lugger

 

After 3 hours of grinding on the calipers, I made the 8-lug 15" wagon wheels fit along with the help of (2) 1/4" wheel spacers on each side.

 

Pics?

 

The only 8-lug 15" wheel I could find. With 295/55/15 MT DRs

 

How much lighter are they? How did they end up working for ya?

 

How did they work out for ya??

 

They are very tight, I needed to grind 1/8" to 1/4" on the front side of the calibers and I added (2) 1/4" wheel spacers on each side. they fit now with about 3/32" clearance.

Drove 2 hours to the track in Epping, NH ----->Rain Out
Hopefully next time. Still never ran with the new tranny. Its going to be fun.

 

I would say it's tight! I busted up one of my aluminum PY0's and put on 2 16" solid steelies from an older F350 and both the wheel and caliper ended up grinding against each other until they fit LOL I wouldn't recommend that, but it didn't appear to do any damage. I've had both brake calipers apart for a complete cleaning, greasing and hardware replacement.
