HIO, yes, I run 15X8 front and rear. They are found on alot of ford trucks in the 1964-79 era, torinos, etc. The 60 series puts a little more "meat" in the rear fender wells while the 70 series on the front helps even out the front/rear look from the back which limits it from looking like its running sideways to whoever is behind one of these trucks 
The trim rings were added by me along with the 1960 ford hubcaps that I run most of the time. The trim rings are 3 inches wide, chrome.

If it doesnt effect the height, I may look into adding the helper kit myself later on if I can find out that it doesnt!
It'll be a while but I'll get back to you all if that helper kit works out. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, I've been refinishing the 78 donor's RAs, spindles, dust shields, and rotors. Tedious, but it's getting there. Fall and winter will spent parts buying for a full on thrash in the spring.

No, what I was saying is that with all these model trucks, the truck appears to be going down the road "side ways" if you are looking at it from the back. That is caused by the orginal narrower rear end......and that makes the front tires stick out further than the rear tires.....while looking from the rear of the truck going down the road. The 60 series tires I added to the rear wheels with 70 series on the front wheels helps the look from the back of the truck.
