Do they make 8 lug rims in 15 inch.If I get this 3/4 ton I want to swap my 35's to that truck.They are on a half ton now.

Yes they do, but sellection is very limited.

Possibly only white spoke. And you will need to double check the hub center diameter. They used to be popular on Chevy trucks, so I don't know if the hub center was sized accordingly.

Also before you spend the cash, take some measurements, the 15" 8 lug were popular when front axles still used drum or small rotor front brakes. They may not fit on a "newer" 3/4 ton with a factory 16" or larger wheel.

Everything I've seen and heard the caliper needs some grinding for clearancing. Possibly the drums in the rear aswell. I beleave they run very little backspacing to help clear also. You'd almost be better off getting the rite size tires for the truck. Sell your 15s to help fund them.

Thanks for the replies,now that you have said the calipers are close,my old 78 had 16's with cast rims and they were very close.Got some thinking to do.
