Default Wheels

I found a set of wagon wheels on craigslist. I want to make sure they will fit. I have a 91' 4x4. He has a set of alluminum and a set of steel. the steel ones are 15x10 and the aluminum are 15x8.5. Will both of these fit? I'm not sure if I will choose aluminum or steel. I think he said the bolt pattern is 5x5.5 so they should fit, right?

Yep 5x5.5. Also I love the look of 15x10 rims. My friend has a set on his '93 and they are sweet.

It really depends on the type of tire. If they are all terrains or more roadworthy tires, I wouldn't go any smaller than 33x12.5r15. I don't care for the stretched look of 31x10.50 or the balloon look of 32x11.50r15 on 15x10's


However, anything 32x11.50r15 in a mud terrain, would look good on 10" wheels.


These are just my thoughts....

Well I ended up buying a nice set of steel ones for 100 bucks. They are 10x10.5 . Those are probably gonna rub a little at full lock. Now the big question, will 3.08 non LS turn those pretty easily, or am I S.O.L? I've got the 300 with the 5 speed
