I have not bought the wheels yet. Should I get 15" rims or 16" rims?

to use 15'' you need to grind down the front caliper a little
and the rear should fit right on. only 2 peoples in this forum did it...

15'' tires are alot cheeper if wou are willing to grind your calipers.

i did it on my car to use drag slicks 15'' grind down smooth and you would never know its been grinded..paint it after!

Looks like I'll go with the 16" rim & just see what size tire I can get on it. I really appreciate all your help. I can't wait to get my truck done.

Ok, so here's what I'm doing, 2.5" spacers in the front & 1.5" blocks in the rear & I'm buying new 16" rims that are 8" wide. What's the biggest size tire I can get on here without rubbing or anything?
