But most 85s are for 16" rims. Not much help. I like the direction you're going, but might want to reconsider the lift. I would agree, it will look goofy with 30" tires on a 4" lift. Perhaps step down to a 2" lift? I personally think that would look the best, especially with 15s. Another option is to go with a 6 lug 16" wheel from a custom mfgr. Pricey tho, but it's not like steelies are cheap these days, once you throw in a good powder coat.
Great suggestions, man. I did think about going down to a 2" lift and really, like you say, that would be ideal. Easier to get into and easier to find the perfect tire/wheel setup. But my budget is tight, I only have the cash right now for new tires and wheels plus a few little things that need fixed.
I'll look into some six lug 16" wheels like you suggested. Looking more and more like the way I'll have to go. I mentioned the 15" because I've got a line on a good deal on some steelies.
Thanks for your help!
