    i have a dillema about buying my new rims. im thinking about getting a 15X7 rims on the front and 15x7.5 on the back. but im thinking it would be too small if i drop my truck 2"-3". im on stock height right now. the problem is, im also thinking about buying a 17x9 for the front and 17x9.5 on the back and droping my truck 3". which one is the perfect fit?

    both rim options sound like they'd look alright with the 2/3 drop. the 15" rims with a low profile tire will also give you a lil more drop. basically, it jus depends on what you want the truck to look like. if it were me, i'd go wit 15x8's though...

    oh wow that is nice... so im gonna go with 15's then. it sits pretty well without the spacers, im guessing 15mm- 20mm spacers will be good. also im thinking of putting 205/50/15 tires.. what do you think?

    Imo, unless you already have the wheels I would try to avoid using spacers. Just get your offset right. I'm getting the 17s an offset of +33. Get the closest to that offset. Lower and you will have to roll the fender. +35 would be ok but it would not be flush. Spacers are not a safe way to go but if you must don't get a universal set. Get the 5X114.3 bolt pattern.
