WTT or WTB 15x8 have 2 sets 15x10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Destructo · 12-08-2003, 01:45 AM

I need some 15x8 6 lug wheels for my truck and I currently have a 2 sets of modular 15x10 6 bolt wheels. I just need some wheels, they don't need to be in great shape or very pretty, I may just blast them and have them powder coated or something. I blew the bead on the same wheel twice this past saturday while running 10.5" tires on these 10" wheels and I plan on going with 12.5" tires but I still will want 8" wheels for them to hold the bead better.

Oh and if you ever wondered if using ether to re-set the bead on a tire works, it does, I now have experience.

The first set is a chrome outer with a black middle and the simulated bolts around the middle.

The second set are all chrome and one has a spot where a bit of chrome came off the middle, and a couple have some rust around the center bolt ring.

I can get pics of them tomorrow afternoon.

Also if someone has a set of 33x12.5" tires and is looking for some 31x10.5 I have a very good set of Hoosier Radial D/T tires, about 4k miles or so on them, have worn perfectly and have lots of tread.

I have a set of centerlines HT cast aluminum rims in excellent condition for 15x8.5 3.5 backspace for 250 shipped. sorry I don't have pics but we could possibly meet halfway if not too far

Sounds nice, but i'm not sure I want aluminum wheels, those would get eaten up if I blow a bead off-road. A friend told me to take all my stuff down to galloways and trade both sets of wheels and my tires and a grill guard and I could come out with a set of 15x8 wheels and a set of used 33x12.5" tires.

33's 12.50 on a 8"??? I have a 12.50 on a 10" and it bulges the sidewalls!! How will that look?

Destructo · 12-08-2003, 10:57 PM

Dunno, but I know some guys running 35x12.5 inch tires on 15x8's without beadlocks i'm gonna run a 8" rim, should hold the bead very well and I can run lower pressure.

'89Z71 · 12-08-2003, 11:27 PM

I run a 15x8 rim with 35x12.5 Super Swamper SSR's and they hold a bead just fine. I'd say just use the 10" wheels if you're going to run a 12.5 inch wide tire. I guess its all just preference....

Destructo · 12-08-2003, 11:32 PM

nah, i'm gonna go to a 15x8. I really don't like blow a bead, so i'm gonna make it as hard as possible for that stupid thing to come off.

'89Z71 · 12-08-2003, 11:34 PM

Alright, I'll keep you in mind if I hear of someone wanting a set....

rogf4 · 12-27-2003, 12:22 PM

Sounds like if your getting that radical you need a set of bead locks or run more tire pressure

Destructo · 12-27-2003, 12:34 PM

I shouldn't have too much trouble going with 15x8's and 12.5" tires. If I have bead problems then, i'll get some bead locks.

rogf4 · 12-27-2003, 08:17 PM
