Why 15s? What's wrong with 16"/17"? The tires aren't that much more expensive if that's what you're implying. I'm just curious as to why you would want smaller wheels than what came on these trucks from the factory.

Because all the crappy used mud tires on craigslist are 15s duh! Lol

I don't see the point in running 15s, if it's a look thing, it's only a half inch off the lip of the wheel from a 16...
Also who makes a 15 in the 5x135? Haven't cared to look around but it seems weird someone would, out are people getting those universal wheels with 100 holes in em or having em custom drilled?

Its just more curiosity that anything. I already have aftermarket 16x10's running 305's. I just keep seeing something that is "impossible" and would like to know how they managed it. Curiosity gets me every time.

This thread just made me laugh

I want a set of 15's for the Harley. Why? there light weight... "Bogarts"

Theres been a few other sets hit the market too, but there not worth mentioning.


You have to grind your caliper down and get correct back spacing (ball joint) also.

I've heard of someone putting a 17" tire on a 16.5 and seen someone do a 16.5 tire on a 16" rim.
