No 15" rims "fit" our trucks. You need to modify the rear calipers and use custom made 15" rims, and right now Bogart is the only ones making them, far as I know.

You can use the 15" bogarts on the front and 16" rims on the back. The fronts are really easy to sand down. All you have to do is really cut the fins off the front. The back ones are the PITA!

I agree. The fronts were cake. The rears were a MOTHERFU(KER! I you do decide to do the rears make sure you wear eye and ear protection! Also MAKE sure you at least wear a dust mask. The shavings will kill your lungs.

I wanted to run 15" tires on the street. I like the look and the "meaty-ness" of the stance, I have also found a killer tire to run on them. BFG's drag radial. 345/55/15- its 29.8" tall and would like sick on my lowered silver L. I guess that wont happen Because If im going to buy bogarts, i might as well sell the American racing bajas with hoosiers on them infavor of the garts.

I know about the shaving of the rear calipars, hell, ive done it on two diff. trucks. I just wanted to know if bogart was the only ones avaliable.

Anybody lnow where I can pick some up reasnobly priced?

M@H makes a 16 inch 31 inch tall tire thats 14inch wide. Its a big tire so you need some power to turn it. Im gonna be going with that tire soon. I have 16 inch rims up font and in the rear. Definately go with the 16, its not woth the work of sanding down the calipers when theres tires available for the 16 inch.
Mickey thompson also makes a 26 inch and 28 inch tall tire available in 10-12 inch wide. All of the tires i mentioned will fit a 10 inch wide aplication rim. I also ran the 26 and 28 inch MT. The 26s were good when i was in the low 400 hp range. it gave me a little more gear also. The 28s were good for me in the 450-500 hp range. Now im in the mid 500 hp range so im going with the 31 inch M@hs. I like my 16 inch rims cause there not like everyone elses with the bogarts.

Rear. They're centerline billet series ,i believe they were called the baja.
Those were the 26 inch mt on them at the time. I screwed the tire to the rim. I was also running tubes in them. Holds the air excellent. Excuse the huge wheelwell gap. Havent had a chance to drop the truck yet so it looks a little silly. Will post some pics when im done.

Hoosier makes some Pro-Street radials that you would need to tub to fit.

What about a 17" rim. 17x12...... I found one that would fit, but its got
-50 offset. Is that inward or outward? The front would be a 17x8 with 0 offset. Does anyone know if these would fit or how they would look?
