^Treadwright link for 235/75R15's. The other link was for 31x10.50's.

Rough Country Steelies...

If I were to buy more wheels for my truck, RC's steelies are the ONLY way I'd go (unless I won the lotto and could afford Walker Evans BUT....).
Call RC Directly (In Dyersburg, TN) and see if they'll throw in the center caps cheaper or something. Sometimes they will. If you get the chance, Talk to Ryan... He's a buddy of mine and is probably their best Sales Guy. He'll hook you up if he can.

Would these fit on 235/75/R15's? I know nothing about wheels and tires so I appreciate all your help. I have 15x7 rims stock.. and i'd like something that'd fit the tires I have now

It says that they have 15 x 8 (5x4.5). Would these fit? Also, do I have to be really worried about these wheels rusting? I wash my truck twice a week usually

I've never seen rust be an issues UNLESS you knock paint off and don't touch it up.

235's will fit on a 15x8.
Why such a baby tire tho?

It's what came on it. It's stock height so they don't look all that small. Once I get the rims tires will be next. I'm a high school student and money is always in short supply due to the love I have of my Ranger

So the 15x8 (5x4.5) will FOR SURE fit with my 235's?

Thanks for all of the help everyone.

a 235/75/15 is 28.9" tall and 9.3" wide (as a general rule, tire size varies some).
I don't see where it'd be an issue and I've talked to people that have done it with zero issues. When I had 235's I had a 7" wide rim. Just do some googling and see what the overall consensus is.

It looks like it'd be a tight squeeze..

These would fit, would they not?

gotta say... I'd go an 8" rim if you ever planning on stepping up on Tire Size...

 

[MastuhWaffles]

An extra option are these center caps, just for better looks.

I don't know if I wanna go with an 8" rim if its going to be a tight fit. I don't even know if a tire shop will put an 8'" rim on my tires. It may be a safety hazard, and apparently the tires will get a large bulge on the side with an 8". If I knew that they'd comfortably fit the tires I have, i'd get the 8" rims. If someone could prove that, I'd buy an 8" wide rim in a heartbeat.

call local tireshops.

Wow, that's cheaper than I paid for junkyard alloy wheels. And I prefer steel. RC is driving distance for me too....
