Default 8 lug rear wheel options?

Hey I’m new here and done some search and can’t seem to come up with much. I’m looking at running a drag radial and would like to swap to a 15” wheel possibly. I’m having trouble finding a 15” wheel with a positive or 0 offset. I also have been looking at 17” wheels and am also having trouble finding something wide enough with 0 or positive offset.

just curious as to what other people are running for rear wheels?

Thank!

I'm running these Dodge Ram 2500 wheels on my 8x6.5 truck I have a Hummer H2 axle in the rear and adapters in the front that probably widens each side 2". If you want a wider stance Hummer H2 wheels are pretty popular to run, both wheels can run the stock 8 lug chevy or GMC caps.

I’m trying to keep the wheels under the bed and not have them stick out. Currently I’m running 4th gen dodge Laramie wheels but they are only 8” wide. A lot of the drag radials I’m looking at require a 9.5” wheel per manufacturer spec.

Ahh gotcha, didn't know you needed a 9.5 wide.
