We gonna do do what they say can't be done.

So I decided to bite the bullet on a set of 15" wheels. I got one of the front ones on tonight. Took some minor "shaving" of the caliper and caliper bracket. Took about 3/16" off. Still has Plenty of meat left.

What is the advantage of a 15" wheel?

 

[boominator]

Why did you put 15" on it other than " it cant be done"

 

[greygoose08]

x3 why 15"? cheaper tires? more choices??

People do it on the gas truck because there is a better selection on slicks, the 16 inch rims have limited selection on slicks. So I'm thinking that maybe the same concept for the diesel trucks?

But on a pulling truck what would the advantage be?

Have any pics of what you had to do to the calipers?

I actually just put the tire back on. I'll probably get some pics tomorrow.

I put the 15" wheel on because I bought a set of 33x14.50 15 swamper sts's that I wanted to try this year.

They look real good on that truck. Hope all the work pays off in application.


I like tacos.

Thanks. I hope she runs strong this year.

Looks good. I must be stuck in the 90s I don't like big wheels.

 

[RichLMM]

holy crap they look ginormous!

 

[Sledheadxp800r]

Yeah the 15s make the tires look pretty big

no...being 14.50 wide makes em look big :rofl:

 

[Sledheadxp800r]

I've been running lifted trucks with 14.50s and 15.50s since I was 16 so they look normal to me

 

[graystonelbz]

grinding brake calipers never seemed like a good idea to me, hope it works for you.
