8x6.5 15'' Rim Options

Hey all,

I'm looking for some 8x6.5 wheels that are 15's. I picked up a F250 project but want to keep the 35's I have now. They are for a 15" rim and I would like to find some soft 8's or D windows but it seems the only thing I'm finding is white wagon wheels.

Has anybody had any luck or more cheap options for 8x6.5's?

I did another search and found a boat load

15 in. - 8 x 6 1/2 in. - Wheels - Wheels - Wheels & Tires - SummitRacing.com


What am I looking at for backspacing and an ok width for a 12.50 tire?

It is a 1977, late 77, F250 4wd, with discs up front.

15" wheels won't fit the front with discs brakes?

They'll fit. I have a set of 15x10 8 lugs on mine. You just have to shave some material off the brake calipers.
