    I want to put 15" American Torque Thrust Wheels on my Eco P/U.  It currently has 14 in rims, everything looks like it will clear ecept the very front radius. I think I have 1/2  3/4 of an inch as it sits.
    Anyone have good results with the 15 inch and what width and offset do you get.

    Thanks

    Carl,
    Thank you. Do you think the 205/65 would work on the front. I like to keep everything the same.
    I tried doing a search but you get way too much information to waddle through.

    I would think they'd fit although I've never tried. I wanted that look.

    I took my 15's off. Every time I hit a bump I had to tight my cheeks to the seat. I was afraid I was going to fold my wheel under the truck..

    There seems to be some discrepency here about the 15" wheels, maybe you had a big neg offset? Lots of guys run them with no problem?
