Wheels

Which bolt patterns will fit our trucks? (5-lug). I want the wheels to stick out a little bit, how big of a backspacing should i get? what do you have? i cant seem to find any good pics of different backspacings.

thanks

depends on rim width but 5 on 5.5" is the bolt pattern and 15x10 with 4" of back spacing is plenty :P

those are more or less the same, one is metric and the other standard.

Those twheels stick out more than the 15x8's I had so I'd say they are 10's. Stock backspacing is 3.75" on a 7.5" rim.
