Default Cheap sites for rims and tires!

So im pretty set on wrangler duratracs on 15x7 soft 8's. would it make any difference if I got 15x8? The tires will be 235/75/15.

Also I got quotes 900 even to purchase and mount/balance at a local shop. is there any sites cheaper than this?

15x7 might make the tire bulge out a little more. I would get 15x8 incase you ever go wider.

I figured out the Summit price for my 15x8 soft 8s, chrome center caps, and chrome lug set. called up my Tire Kingdom to place my order for BFG ATs and told em about the price on Summit. they matched it no problem and even took off $20

I had them on mine while it's stock. I had a little rubbing. Nothing major though.
