Default Budget wheels?

For now I am stock height. Looking to drop it. Winter is over and my stock wheels are pretty busted up. Any cheap wheel set ups? I saw a few steel wheel set ups. Whats the biggest street radial/tire that fits on stock height stock wheels with no rub? Lets see the wheel set ups. Can't afford bogarts until the turbo set up is done. Any 15'/16" wheel guys out there? BTW, I have a HD crew cab.. but still wanna see wheel set ups for us budget guys.

Why not run the stock wheels with good tires? No sense in spending money twice if you plan on going to bogarts.

My stock wheels look disgusting. No cleaning them. Previous owner destroyed them. So until I'm ready to spend bogart money I'm going to buy some cheap wheels that I can get the most tire on. If buying new stock wheels so be it. What size radial fits on stock wheels no rub?

Very clean set up. Just read your build thread.

Thanks I appreciate it. Not the ideal wheel for my build but definitely works until I can get my hands on a set of welds.

If you get welds, beadlock. Way too much tire movement. and the "bent weld rumor" is true. I'd go a different route if possible. Don't ask how I know this lol.. but hey those wheels get the job done. Just heavy. Is it a one size fits all deal with the cragars?
