Do you have any pictures of your truck with your rims on? Now I'm not sure if I want to go 15x7 with a 4-1/2" back spacing or a 16x7 with 4" backspacing. I'm thinking the 15x7's cause I really don't want the tires sticking out of the fender.
ya i will take some pics today and upload them. i have 16x8 with a +12mm offset, which is a 5 inch backspace roughly. they are on 265/75-16 tires, which is about a 31.6 x 10.4 x 15 if you convert it. a 15x7 with 4.5 inch backspace will probably sit about the same as these, but the 4 inch backspace on 16x7 may stick out a slight bit farther. also, were you planning on buying tires as well. if not, you need to stick with 15's if thats what you already have.

the tough part about finding wheels for out trucks is the 6-114.3/4.5 bolt pattern. the only other vehicles im aware that run this bolt pattern are 2005+ xterras and frontiers.

i just ordered these wheels, but they wont be in for probably 3 or 4 weeks, but cant wait til they get here

I'm going to be getting new tires also that's why I'm figuring out what rims I want to run so I can figure out a tire. I think I'm going to go with the 15x7's and I got the back spacing wrong on that yesterday. The ones on jegs are 4-1/4 back spacing and I'm probably going to run a 31x10.5 tire. If I learned anything that will stick out of the wheel wells but only about a 3/4-1 inch. I really wish my truck came with the damn fender flares about now. And the rims you bought are sweet I want that kind of look with the black and aluminum but cant justify the price seeing as how when I find someplace I like I'm moving out of my parents.

Also I e-mailed the seller of the original rims I posted about and you were right they said the back spacing was 3.5 on them
