5 on 5 specs?
Actual name or size?

Whats the smallest size rim in the front of a single cab short bed w/ BB?

4"?

5 on 5 means a 5 lug pattern with a 5 inch diameter. The diameter of the lug nut pattern is 5 inches. Has nothing to do with wheel size.

check out the last pages of jegs and the Summit Wheels section. Crager makes the Street Star and Street light which will are strong, cheap and look bad @$$ for the phatty/skinny look. They offer them in 14's and 15's however they don't get to skinny. If you really want to look mean and want to spend a few more pennies weld has some wheels that are for you. Check out the DragLite or ProStar. They have 14's and 15' and introduced 16 and 17's from a spindle mount to 3.5 in wide to 15 in wide.

be careful with the size of brakes you've got. on my truck i had to grind the calipers on my disc conversion on the front cuz i've got 15" rims. much smaller on drums could cause issues too...
