Im in a similar situation. Did a search and im just more confused because i hear some 15's will fit and some wont. I have brand new 35x12.50x15 tires from my old jeep that i would like to use so if i can make a 15" wheel work then i will.
I bought just one 15x8 crager soft 8 with 4" of backspacing to try and see how it fits. It does fit but man is it tight......like 1/16 or 1/8" from the caliper and it did rub a little but that was because i just put the wheel over the studs and no lug nuts to tighten it down. Im still questioning it and would like to get a second opinion so anyone else running 15" wheels let me know. thanks

mikey where did you get your cragars at. All I have been able to find are 16's in the 5x5 bolt pattern. I want to run 15's I love the look of them. Thanks
