Check craigslist. Assuming you're talking 15x8, D-window...they can be found $45-up online, usually shipping is extra. Couple places by me have them 4 for $200, pick up. Plus they are super common, used ones can be found for cheap as well. Or get stock saw blades (15x7, but can be found free) and paint them black?

I found some motometal 16" rims localy brand new for 125... offset says 0, so im assuming i may need spacers to fit 33" tires without rubbing suspension... just trying to figure out if getting 16" rims is worth it and not getting the backspacing i will probably need

Tires are more expensive. But you can get retread tires from Treadwright.com cheap. Less sidewall to flex & grip rocks

Ive heard bad things about people getting treadwrights that came with torn up sidewalls. Have you had experience with this? Because if not, those dollar signs speak to me haha.

I have no first hand experience with them. If they sold 35s for a 15 in rim I'd try a set. They are cheap.

The latest Treadwrights are just like new tires. They got new mold machines this year and make their own branded tires now. I have a set of their Guard Dogs and they are solid.

I've been on a set of 33" treadwright backbones for several years now. ran them hard at 11 lbs last weekend. They even sat for 6 months with 10 lbs in them. still had 10 lbs when I brought it back to the house last week. Need to order a spare and will do so with confidence
