I have a 88 K1500 its lifted 4 inches and right now it has 35x12.50x15 tires on it. The rims are not a matching set though thats how they were when I bought it, so I need to buy a new set of rims for it. My question is with 35x12.50s what rims will look the best out of either 15x8, 15x10, or 17x8? Also what kind of back spacing will I need to have to for each rim size?
The rims it has on it now look really good how they are set up but I dont know what width they are and I dont know what the backspacing is on them. I have 3 matching I just cant find a 4th one I dont think American racing makes them anymore. So my final question is there a way to tell what width they are and what backspacing they are without removing the tire? Im assuming probably not but I thought I would ask. Thanks for your help in advance. :)

Look around ,check around for a local tire shop or bone yard that has rims that look good for deceration.
But on picking out mates or trucks or tires or rims.
Remeber looks are not always the best thing to look for or go for.:lol2::grinyes:
