running 15" wheels???

[11secondhorse]

I just picked up another tahoe, its a 96 2dr, has 15" rims and 35s and they stick out a couple inches, i was wondering if i could still run 15s but bring them in a little bit. the back spacing on these push them out. it has a 6" suspension lift and im doing a 3" body lift. want to run 37x13.5x15 on it. Im mostly only finding 15x10, not even sure if a 10" rim would work. If 15s wont work out i will have to do 17s but prefer to put 15s back on it to have thicker sidewalls. anyone have any experience or knowledge on doing 15s? Thanks!!

its weird, nobody on the Z71 site spoke up either. is it just a bad idea to try to run these or what??????

ive got 15's with no spacers. They are 15x7 but I'm not sure of the backspacing, but I had to sand down the corners of the front calibers a bit, but they fit fine

what kind of tire do u want to run? brand name.... some sites will tell u how wide or skinny u can run rims for that size tire. if u are going to use it offroad go with a bigger rim. i had 15s on my old truck, had a rock get in behind the rim and got jamed between the rim and caliper. tore the rim to shit.

35x13.5x15, prob Interco SS-M16s. if i do 17" im doing Mud Grapplers

my bros got 17 12.5 35s he likes them
im doin 37s 13.5 and 22s
i personally think 15s look small just imo

well i already have a 4dr all blacked out too with 20" all black rockstars and terra grapplers that is my road hog, this 2-door is going to be my off-road toy so im leaning 65% performance and 35% looks. where the other one is opposite.
