15 inch wheels

ok I just spent like 2 hours with our friend the search button, and I cant find anyone running a 15 inch rim other than a bogart. Does ANYONE know of any other 15 inch rim that will fit our trucks? Preferly something I can use on the street.

Have you ground down the calipers yet? I thought that was why 15 inch rims couldn't be used.

yes I plan to grind down my calipers, I just dont want to spend the money on bogarts, I'm looking for something cheaper.

Ahh. What is the actual bolt pattern you bought? Someone said it was 5 on 5.5, someone else said it was smaller.

How much grinding did you have to do so they would fit?

Casey02l,

I tried the Diamond 15" steel wheels on my 2000L.
Ground the hell out of the calipers, moved the caliper backing plate 1/8 inch, used 3/16" wheel spacers and the diamond wheels never fit!

Threw them away and purchased a set of 15" Bogards.

Remember most of the drag wheels are not DOT approved
for the street.
