What size are the wheels that you have on there right now? When matching up wheels with tires 4" is seen as a safe difference between wheels and tires. Since you have 15.50 you would want about 12.00 wheel but atleast a 10.00. YOu will be able to get away with the stock wheels for now with just regular driving -Eddie |

You need to find out the width and backspacing on those wheels to know if they will work. With that wide ass tire, you'll need a wide rim (10") and have little backspacing so it wont rub your chassis/leafs/coils/control arms. BTW, info on your truck is helpful when trying to give you info... |
