Default My custom built wheels!!!

Not what your thinking..lol!! They started off as Cragar Soft 8's black 15x10 with 4" backspacing. Now they have 6" backspacing and are silver. Just another alternative to bogarts... just need to have the "want to" in your blood!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should have taken the pics a little earlier to show off the clear coat.

A set of those blacked out would look pretty nice on mine i would think

Toyo recommends 285mm max on an 8" wide wheel.

Some tire shops won't put bigger than a 285 on 8" wheels. Just heads up.

Regency, do you not have disc brakes on the rear?
