Need some help

AForlizzi · 11-04-2009, 07:02 AM

Ive been lopoking around and just cant find what i need. Im looking to buy cragar soft 8's 15x7 and putting the tires that are on the truck and running them for awhile they are p205/75r/15. If i buy the soft cragars will i have any problem with rubbing or anything? I also need to know which size lug nuts to go with.
Thanks Alot

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.

everything is all stock just want to get some new wheels..205? what do you mean tires that tall

Nitemare · 11-04-2009, 10:26 PM

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

Alright thanks.sorry this is my first vehicle im new to all the tire talk. Later down the road if i wanna switch size of tires what is the range of tires i can go with on the 15x7 whhel?

Nitemare · 11-05-2009, 10:48 PM

it depends. i have had a 245/60 on a 7 inch wide before.

AForlizzi · 11-06-2009, 07:07 AM

would i be able to buy the 15x8 soft 8's with the 4.75 BS? r would i have to stick with the 15x7 to run stock tire?

Nitemare · 11-06-2009, 07:18 AM

a 205 wide tire is kinda shitty for a 8in wide rim

**S10dude** · 11-06-2009, 08:15 AM

i would use at least a 225 on an 8in rim

Nitemare · 11-06-2009, 09:01 AM

205 would work on a 8in wide rim it would just kinda be stretched

AForlizzi · 11-23-2009, 07:40 PM

Ok ive been seraching for the last couple days and ive found a few different view points.some people have been saying they get rubbing with the 15x7's with 205 tires and some havent. my trucks 4x4 if that matters . anyways i was wondering what the biggest tire would work on a 15x7" cragar soft 8 with stock ride height would be? stock 205's would be fine but i was wondering if i could go with a 215 or 225 without rubbing? any input would be appreciated!
thanks.

well since your truck is 4wd, it's a whole different ball game!

4wd has 6in backspace from the factory. you'll want to get as close to that as possible, because if you go 4.5in backspace it'll look dope as hell but because your tires poke out 1.5in more, they rub when you turn unless you have a lift.

AForlizzi · 11-24-2009, 05:41 PM

i was planning on going with 15x7 which i think only come in 4' BS. so ill deffently rub?

Nitemare · 11-24-2009, 09:31 PM

you'll probably rub the tire on the edge of the valance ect when you turn i am not too too sure with 4wds

AForlizzi · 11-25-2009, 05:25 PM

Can anyone else on here help me?
