ok, i am back to thinking i need some 15's on my truck. the main reason is there are soo many tire choices in the 15" range.
i can get WIDE 30" tall drag radials from BFG or M/T.
after looking closely at the front of my truck i think a 15 would fit prety easily. the stud from the ball joint could be trimed up easy. up toP there is a sensor wire that might be close but probably be fine. the caliper is kind of close but the rim is extra thick in that area so on most rims i think it would be fine.
the rear looks real tight, the caliper is about 3/8" away for the entire way. who has put 15's on the back of their truck and how hard was it?
does anyone have a 15" rim i can try? thinking something light and simple like some prostars. i'll pay shipping both ways, just want to try it.
imagine 4 315/60/15 bfg drag radials, i bet i would hook like mad with that set up.

Don't forget Hoosier makes some absurdly wide street ones called "Pro Streets"

They are 29 to 31" tall and 12-18" wide.
15 to 17" rims also...

Like a 31x12.5x15 up front and a 31x16.5x16 out back...
