Straight bolt on black rims. "No mods"

1.25" spacers on all four wheels is a big difference. They are way too tucked under the truck stock.

 

Are you running spacers on stockers? Do you have pics of your truck with the spacers on? Any TPMS issue with spacers? This is one option that I'm considering as well. Sorry for the thread jack

 

Do these Cragar wheels come with TPMS valve stems? For those that are running these wheels, did you have the shop reprogram the TPMS?

 

No issues, it looked normal with bone stock tires and suspension.

 

Thank you. Where did you get your spacers from? Are they hub-centric?

 

Not hub centric, I think I had a link in here, eBay stuff iirc.

Correction, hub centric!

 

I did not transfer TPMS sensors to new wheels. My dash low pressure indicator is constantly on. I do not care.

 

Cool! Thanks! I may go this route until my stock tires are worn out.

 

Gawd-dammit, more stuff to source and buy.

Thanks for the tips on the 1.25" wheel spacers.

*edit* link to my own project-specific posting on the spacer topic, in my 'build' thread. I don't wish to hijack this specific thread further.. but thanks for the semi-Eureka moment anyway... definitely brought a few new thoughts to my head.

HackD's incremental build - WAS 2010 AC tire/rim replacement

 

Remember when calculating MPG that when you went up in tire size you also mess with your odometer. Essentially you're going farther per each rotation of the tire.

I put 235/75 r15 on my 5 lug and saw the same power loss you describe.

To get accurate mileage and mpg calculations I have to multiply by 1.075 because the tires are 7.5% larger. That means if I see 20 mpg, I'm actually getting 21.5!

Bonus: your odometer turns over slower, making your truck appear younger.

 

Also went with the black d window 15x7s on a 2007 access cab, no fitment issues. Went with geolander at 275/70/15, seems like performance is not hindered much, 1 inch diameter increase and the wheel and tire combos are probably 10-15 lbs heavier than stock. Only issue is some vibration in front but now solved. I have plastic hub rings but the first time I installed the wheels I had vibration. I think it is important to torque the wheels without lowering the car, I had lowered the front to keep the front wheels from spinning but I think was enough to get the wheels off center. Swapped the back to the front and torqued everything off the ground. Vibration is about 95% reduced. I did notice with the installation instructions for the wheels they recommend the method where you measure the rim and tire and then move the tire on the rim to reduce out of roundness (done with a ground force type balancer). Anyhow wheels were cheap and look much better than the stockers.

 

Anyone with the Cragars.... Does the factory TPMS fit or is everyone running without them?

 

from what I heard the stock sensors do not fit, the sensor went out in my spare and dealer wanted 200 to repair so bought new wheels instead, a little over 200, still have stock wheels with ok stock tires. I just ignore the light and check tire pressure weekly

 

the ones with the red and blue pin stripe fit fine. most other do not. I got some rockcrawlers from 4wheelparts.com (wheels made for jeeps), and had to use spacers to clear the calipers. the wheels never balance and give me a bad wobble around 60 mph. lesson learned, ill go with some 16-17" street wheels next time.

 

With the cragers and 235/70/15s geolander ats I had to have mine rebalanced after static balance, was redone with the road force method where they can measure run out of wheel and tire and can move tire on wheel for minimum run out. I think they can also check for uniform tire flex as this can cause issues. Had a wobble at 60+ but seems ok now after the road force balance. Looked like they used a lot of weights so guessing the wheels and or tires are not uniform in weight.

 

Does anyone know if these wheels:

Would fit without any issues?

 

Even though this thread is old as hell, it saved me a lot of trouble when ordering wheels that would fit without spacers or shaving down the brake caliper. Will post results and pictures when they get here. I did cheap out on rubber for these, being I still have a lift kit to put on and an alignment to be done. 235/75/15 Adventuro M/T listed at $112 each from discount tire. Cheapest M/t besides the Nankang Mud Star

 

Also recognizing that this is an old thread, here is a pic of stock steels and tires with 1" spacers on each wheel. Planning on upgrading to Cooper A/T3 30x9.5r15 in a few months.

 

Rock river D-window alloy rims. 15x8 with 4bs. No modding needed to bolt those suckers on. Tpms swithes directly from stock to these wheels. No complaints except not liking the center cap but thats my personal taste. Old thread but figured I'd share my 5lug experience. Had to special order them from discount tire.
