    Be sure to check fitment on wheels before ordering; and at the very least, mounting.

    Pro Comp 51 series steel wheels don't fit our trucks. At least unless they have a "T" designation at the end of their part #.

    I bought 16x8, and they don't fit. The lip where they stamp the "d" window does not clear the front caliper. I would think the 15x8 won't fit any better.

    I have different Pro comps on order. Apparently the tire shop I am using says they need a "T" designation. And the new ones will be 16x8 w/3.5" B.S.

    see i have a 95.5 so my stock rims are 15s. the later models like 98 or something came with stock 16s and and have larger rotors. I dont see why they wouldnt fit but i will test fit a rim before doing anything else.

    Just like any 16s should fit mine, right? :rolleyes:

    I'm just letting you know my experiences. The tire shop is reordering and taking these back, free of charge. I don't know what Amazon's policy is, that's why I like to choose local shops. Check return policy before ordering. I would not be surprised if they didn't fit. Just a heads up.

    And if anyone in the forum can confirm a fitting, that'd be awesome :bowdown:

    Yeah sorry i realized what you were saying after i posted. That is weird that they wouldn't fit since they are 16s.... Amazon has a amazing return policy so im not worried about that at all. They will do anything to make the customer happy, i buy everything from amazon if its available on there.
    Anyway thanks for the heads up. yeah if someone could verify fitment, that would be much appreciated.
