Re: Need some help

lugs iirc are m12x1.5 or something like that, but you can use your stockers if you dont mind how they look.

if you get 15x7 get the ones with 4.0" backspace. you'll be fine.

i hope you are at stock height if you are getting tires that tall.

Re: Need some help

205 is the width of the tire, 75 is the aspect ratio of the side wall. so your side wall is 75% of the 205 width, which is a pretty tall tire but that is the stock size on our trucks so go for it if you are stock height
