Stock steel wheels and caps!! wheel vintiques
Guys it looks like I may be swapping a member out of his super nice f100. The top and grill are painted Wimbledon white and rest is a copper color. He is keeping the wheels and I am going back with steel wheels painted White also. I normally like stock narrow wheels but this truck will need help with traction! I know that 15x8s work fine with 4" backspacing. Im wanting to find out if any body has used the wheel vintiques 15x10s with 4.5 back spacing on a stock truck or lowered truck? I will want to run 275/60/15s on rear and stock 15x6s with 225/75/15s on front. Ideas or advice would be appreciated!

Re: Stock steel wheels and caps!! wheel vintiques
No advice but I am watching to see what you come up with. I really like fat tires on the front, I'm thinking 8" on the front and 10" on the back to try to compensate for the back being narrower than the front. I'm just not sure about back spacing so I'm interested in what you figure out.

Re: Stock steel wheels and caps!! wheel vintiques
I asked a member about his lowered truck and it has a fat stance on front and back. He sent me this info a few days ago.
Front wheels are 15x8" Wheel Vintiques. Rear wheels are custom made 15x9" built by a friend of mine. If I remember right, my offset is 4" front and rear. My front tires are 245/60/15 and rear tires are 275/60/15. Hope that helps you!

Re: Stock wide factory wheels on our trucks!
Ok guys what about any of yall running 15x7 and 15x8 factory ford steel wheels. I bought a few sets today and curious if any one on here runs the painted steel wheels on there slicks bumps or dents?? I think the 15x8 bronco wheels with beauty rings and caps would look nice but its hard to tell untill on truck!
