    if i et new wheels what size should i get 15x8 or 15x10. i have 15x10 on the truck now but they stick out some but thats probly just the tire and the wheels are deep dish.

    so what size offset and back spacing should i get that would be the best

    Who really cares what it looks like, it's your truck you can do what you want to it. You might catch a little hell from it but on here most people are just messing with you.

    well if u want an aggressive look I would get at least a 4" or less BS...but your 15x10 wheels already look aggressive and if u want it even more just powder coat them mat black.

    honestly adam, your present set-up looks sweet IMHO. sure, you can follow the pack and go for black, i know i did, to a degree. but sometimes a little "bling" stands out in a good way. perhaps save the $ and perform another mod?.......just my 2cents :D woulda killed 2 have a truck like that at 22!..............
