Default Wheels and tires - 1993 D150.

First of all, does anyone know how big a tire we can go on these things? I'm trying to install a set of the wheels listed below. I tried to do some measuring last night, but I'm still not entirely sure. Maybe I should just go with a set of 15" wheels. Thanks.

Hmm, yeah. The bolt pattern is what's killing me; I'm having a tough time finding wheels I like with the 5x5.5. Regardless, thank you.

May I ask what size tire you're running?

I'm running a mismatched set of 31x10.50x15s on my D150, mounted on 8-spoke chrome wagon wheels that appear to be 15x8.

I hear you about the wheels, though. The pickings are slim when looking for a 15" wheel in a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I keep wishing someone would do a set of Mopar cop car steelies in this bp, but so far no luck.

Lately, I have been looking for a set of these...

Hmm, thanks guys! I think I'm gonna go with the 15"x8" that I found. I'd prefer to have some more meat on my tires.

I too, would love to see some cop car steelies. I love the look of the red one representing the 1st gen forum. I'd really like to see what smoothies would look like on these things...

Also, I found something similar to that! It's not the ones manufactured by Dodge, but they're close. I actually found them in that new LMC magazine; they're the last ones featured on the page.
