Those are nice looking dog dishes. Are they bare metal, or are they painted silver?

Running a set of white wagon wheels myself, 235/50/15's. Truck has a nice look to it IMO, but I think next time I'm going to go with a set of 31's.

Actually, the truck hasn't seen much road in three years. The most it's seen was in the neighborhood. The only problem is that on a full turn, the tires rub the radius arms. But only on a full turn. You should be fine with 10.5's. Any wider is where you run into big problems.

Glad I found this thread. My brother has a set of Eagle Alloy 15x10's and brand new Yokohama Avid S/T 275/60R15's that I can get for about the same cost as a new set of 215/75R15 tires for the stock rims. What I can find online says those tires shouldn't be mounted on a tire larger than 9.5" wide.

Anyone see a problem? Wheel load rating is 2500 lb each and tires are good for 2100 each, so they aren't the weak link.
