Thumbs up I need new wheels

I'm looking for a set of steel wheels at least 10" wide. Wider is better ! In a 8 bolt pattern to fit my F250. I would like to have 15x10 with as little back spacing as possible. If you've got something, and want to sell them, PM me. Thanks.

it's a 1979 F250

depending on what width tires you plant to run 10's usually are enough!

also, be careful, 15's wont fit on some of the D44 front axles b/c of the dual caliper pistons

15" Wheels

Thats why I want as little back spacing as possible. I just don't want to pay the price of my 16.5's any more.

good grief, how often do you change tires? lol

why dont you get a set of 16's and then that way when you find the exact tire you wanna run you can put them on either set of wheels?!?! als then you will have a spare set

if you get 15"s with 2.5" backspacing they will clear the brakes fine, if you get 3.5" backspacing you will have to grind the calipers lightly to fit
