Default Bogarts ???

I will be ordering my Bogarts today or tomorrow..

Need some advice:

For the front I am debating on 15" x 4.5" or 17" x 4.5".... I will run a 28" tall tire ( both 15's and 17's are available in 28")

For the rear 15x10... Debating on 3 piece welded or 3 piece bolted?

What should I do?

If you can fit a 15 why would you want a 17?

I think it would look better...
And if down the road i get another newer truck (05+)they would fit the front...

Just wanted to know if there was any cons on running 17's...

You think a bigger diameter wheel on the front would look better?


The only cons I can think of is tire selection

It doesn't look bad at all. I just thought I was the only one who thought that way. There's a guy somewhere on here with a black turbo truck that has 17s in the front and 15s in the back. I will probably just do 17's all around since they have 17" slicks now
