Default 15x8 with 235's???

never mind about the 8" rim. I'm goin with 15x7's.

I'm gearing up to buy some soft 8's. just trying to figure out if i want silver or chrome.
What B/S for a 15x7. The ones i want are 4" b/s they will have 235's on them .

Is 4" bs suitable with what will be a 4.5 lift. After my 235's go i'll be getting 31s.

trying todecide between these two.

I like black better, but Silver of those 2. 4" BS is fine, and recommended to prevent rubbing of larger tires. You will want to check flex and bumpstop accordingly.

^^^ This. The 235's will be fine on a 15x8, might as well be prepared for the future

Well i was worried about stretching the 235's out. i don't want them distorted at all.
I just put the 235's on like a month ago.

So tell me; am i wrong in worring about stretching??? I would rather have the 8" but would do without them just so the 235's will fit properly. I got like two years on these things.

Most half ton trucks that used 235/75's had 8" rims factory. They fit fine
