O2camaross what did you ever figure out on getting the 15's to fit?

Maybe a 76mm with a 81 ar

+1 and the compression has to do with the 243's which have larger compression chambers, which they tried to make up for with flat tops, but its still 9.1.

I did. I did a drum brake swap from a 05 silverado. The O.D. of the drum is 13.2" and the I.D. of the diamond racing wheel im getting is 13.3"! pretty close lol. They are being built now and should ship next tuesday. Going with 325/50/15 nitto 555r's. Gonna look sick

I had my battle with those wheels. They do fit on the 05 drums, but the ones I had did not have a back bead on them so I had to run tubes in them to keep the tire on the bead.

[o2camaross]

oh no. Are they the trucker series? With the D holes? Thats what I ordered

[TurboMic]

yep...

[o2camaross]

damnit!! you think they will be okay with nitto drag radials?

[TurboMic]

with lots of psi maybe.... But its just a huge risk if you ask me. if that bead cracks off any, the entire tire is coming off and it will be on steel... not like a normal wheel tire combo that just might go flat.
