what is the size of my rim?
my rims are all rusted out, I am trying to figure out the size to order some new ones. It seems that every site I use for my other vehicles does not have an option for my truck on their site
I have a 73 cheyenne super 10 looks like 15in 5bolt rims are whats on there. so would it be 5x100,x7? also I would like to know how wide and tall I can go with a 15 inch rim. I would like taller and a little wider with the rubber. Thanks |

Re: what is the size of my rim?
Billy the rims should be 5 lug on a 5 inch spacing between the lugs. They are more than likely 7 inch wide wheels. That should be the stock width IIRC. You can go up to a 31x10.50 use a 8 inch wide wheel for best results.

Bolt pattern is 5 on 5 inch or 5 x 127mm.

Re: what is the size of my rim?
A street tread tire that would look good on a 15x7 or 15x8 wheel would be a 255/70/15 . Tall and a little meaty . The 31x10.5x15 would be a good choice on a 15x8 wheel with an All Terrain tread . Are you looking for 15x7 wheels ? Aluminum or steel . I may have a set of 15x7 American Racing wheels for sale .

Re: what is the size of my rim?
You would want to go with the widest tire for that sorta racing. You want something that will "float" on the mud. I would go for the 8 inch wide wheel. I have a soft spot for these wheels and they are affordable.
http://www.discounttire.com/product/...ni297.b.xl.jpg Those are 7 inch wide but they are available in 8 inch wide. Then throw some BF Goodrich Mud terrain KM's on them. I got mine for 99 a piece they are great tires. I have them on a 08 Jeep 4 door wrangler.
