Hey guys, I'm going to be running a 6" skyjacker system on my F-150. I am upgrading from my 32's to some 35/12.5/15 BFG mud terrains. I need to get some new wheels to accomidate the tires. I can't tell if I want 15 by 8 or 15 by 10. I also don't know what kind of backspacing I should get. I am getting the skyjacker extended radius arms too. I am running 7.5" wide rims on my 32/11.5s now, I like the buldge but I have to run them a little lower in PSI because of the thin rim so they will wear okay. The recommended minimum is 8" for an 11.5" tire and 8.5" for a 12.5" tire. So if I get an 8" wheel, I am once again a 1/2 inch low. Although not a big deal, I'd rather buy the right stuff when i'm able to decide. I was looking at getting some American Eagle wheels, any complaints about them? I saw the 8" - 10" thread here:

but I'm still looking for more information, maybe it's different as I'm using 35's and he 33's.

I plan on driving mostly on the road, about 95%. I'm not a rediculously hard wheeler, but I'll be getting into the rough stuff since I have some traction aids going in too.

 

I've run 31-12.50-15, and 32-11.50-15 BFG at's on my 15x10 wheels. I like them to sit flatter and fatter. I think an 8 inch is too small for a 35.

 

I agree.

I like a 10 with just about everything. You can put as wide as a 15 or 16 inch wide tire all the way down to 11.5 or even smaller. I like the look better and it seems like I don't have to worry about what tire I can run.

 

I ordered some 15 by 10s today. American Eagle 118s for $680. Thanks.
