    I just wanted to run this by everyone before I pull the trigger.

    Crager Nomad 15x7 5x114.3
    Offset -6mm
    Backspace 3.75in
    Center bore 3.3in/83.82mm

    The only thing I’m not 100% on is the center bore. This is going on my 76

    Measure the center bore of your current wheels. I didn’t buy the crags but summits standard 15” white wagon wheels. Size 15x7, 5x4.5 and they fit fine on my 1978. Little cheaper than cragar.
    Your wheels are “lug centric “ as opposed to “hub centric “. As long as the center bore allows the wheel to fit flat to the hub you’re fine.

    I’ve actually been considering the Vision D ring black wheels, same specs. Post pics when you get them.

    Will do. I'm waiting to finish lowering first and the snow fucked up shipping on parts. I found some vintage toyota center caps that should fit so that should look pretty slick.

    I got a quote from Discount Tire for the Vision D window 15X7 wheels and 205 55 R15 tires, just under a grand installed. The tires are basic, nothing special. I prefer the tire to sit flush with the wheel and not be stretched. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, just bought a house so painting, cleaning, remodeling and moving.

    A grand for steel wheels is a lot in my opinion.

    I hope its not that much. I'm in it $266 for the rims and I figure $160ish for tires and maybe another $100 for labor? I've got a local place I'm gonna hit up when the rims arrive.

    That would of been a better option. The homies on the corner would've mounted nd balanced them for no more then a benjamin!

    I always go with simpletire.com. Found they’re cheaper than most and include free shipping.

    Trying to figure out tire size. Currently running 195/75/14. I think 205/65/15 would be the best match based on calculator but anyone else have an opinion?

    Curious why that size would look better? They're pretty close in spec

    205/65-15 is pretty close to stock diameter so I'd be worried about rubbing on the fenders. I don't know much about the early truck specs or if you currently have original wheels but you're going from 14x5.5(?), +??mm offset to 15x7, -6mm which is a big change. It seems to me that a lot of people buy wheel/tire combos with smaller overall diameters to avoid fender contact. Back in the heyday of the minitruck "skateboard" fad (which I'm glad died), people were installing 195/50-15 tires on deep dish 15x9 or 15x10 wheels.

    I have a 1988 and 15x7, 0mm offset with 215/60 tires stuck out about 1 inch. My truck suspension was/is totally stock so I had no rubbing issues but I am planning on lowering my truck and buying 16x7, 25~30mm offset wheels.

    Since you already ordered the wheels, fit them up to the truck to make sure they fit, first. Most places will accept returns on rims that didn't have tires mounted on them.

    Alright yeah Mr D you were right. I might clear in the rear but the front is gonna need work. I’m gonna try to make em work because I think it will look sick. I’ve actually got a spare sent of front fenders that I’m gonna cut (I know) and flare that way I don’t have to worry about fucking up stock panels. 310231DB-3E6D-4C3E-853E-DBE1D2790814.jpeg

    Probably start with a roll on the spares and see what that gets me. Could I get away with a stretched tire?
