wheel fitment, tire, lift questions

well i hate to start yet another "what wheel fits" thread but ive been researching and cannot find the info i need. so basically i want to get a lift enough to clear 33x12.5's. Now i was wanting to run 15" wheels because the cost of wheels and tires would be significantly less and i like the look of "beefier" tires. So is anybody running 15" wheels on a 6 lug? will 15's even clear the calipers? or lift spindles? its on 17" sport wheels now and was looking into getting method double standards 15x8, -25mm offset, and 3.50" BS. i was looking at getting the maxtrac 4" spindles, but i called maxtrac and they do not know if the spindles will fit 15's and i would probably need to run spacers if i used the stock sport wheels. am i better off just spending the extra cash and stick to 17's? and i dont really want to run spacers so is there a better option other than spindle lift i am not thinking of? (for example coil spacers, BL, or bigger coils). i just want to get this done without spending a ton of money and not over complicating things. any info or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

Anybody running 15's?

 

I don't think you can run 15s. Might be able to if you are a 5 lugger. I am not 100% for sure.

 

You would need a 3" lift, wheels with 4.5" backspacing (3.5" is too little), and to do a bunch of cutting and then chop your cab mounts. And no you can't run 15s. In fact some 16s even grind on the calipers.

 

ok thanks i figured 15's wouldnt work. looks like ill either run spindles and spacers then or 5100's and maybe coils..
