I need some inspiration, show me your rims!

Hey all,

Looking to change my rims and tyres, as my rims don't quite sit how Ide like them and would also love a set of white letter tyres. Probably looking to go no bigger than 15/16" as I want them to go on with no modifications needed. Show me what y'all are rocking!


Currently running 15x8 all the way around with 235/75 tyres. Definitely needs to be wider at the back imo.

Run 31x10.50R15 on the wheels you have. It looks good.

Thank you for the input so far guys! Whilst my current setup appears good, the rims are pitting / corroding in areas and don't have any clear coat, so are constantly needing waxing and polishing. The front is a perfect size but the rear wheels are lost in the arches and need to be wider in my opinion.

A popular combination is to run 15x7 wheels in the front, with 235/70R15 tires, and 15x10 wheels with 275/60R15 in the back.

I like the steel rim with hub caps look. This is what I have on my 1971 F250.

I think ide opt to go with the taller tyre in the rear due to the rear being taller, unless you meant that? Currently really liking the American Racing Outlaw 2 look.

Putting a taller tire in the back will only make the back even taller,..

Stick with the same size all around.

What is a common size in your area? Do you have sizes like 265/70R17 readily available to you? Pick something easy to get.
