Title: Wide steel rims that accept dogdish caps
Post by: Swampyankee74 on March 21, 2025, 07:21:44 am
Hello everyone, I am looking for some stock looking rims either 15x9 or 15x10 4.25-4.5 backspacing with a 5x5 bolt patern that accepts the stock dogdish up caps. I can find 15x8 in that style. But would like to go wider to accept 295/50-15 tires. Any info would be helpful.

I did look at wheel vintique, didn't see anything on there site wider than 8 inch. I'm going to give them a call, and possibly Stockton to see if they have them. Thank you!

I did see those ones vz, but I don't believe they accept the dogdish hubcaps

Are you going for a 'bone stock' look with the dog dish?

I rarely see them used, but I guess it could be a 'thing'...Unless they are dressed to the nines. Pic please?  ;)

Yes, bone stock with dogdish caps

Nice, I think that 'bone stock' is trending up for a good reason. It speaks to the time when these trucks (and cars) were introduced in their simplicity, a genuine offering that reflects on the time and place in our lives.

Of course, custom mods will always have their place in the Sun, but when you come across the OG of (fill in the blank) you step into a nostalgic time warp.

We'll see if my 'theory' comes true... 8)

Just get the part #'s you need and search, you may find someone with inventory.

I did that. I couldn't find anyone with them in stock. I might just buy 8" wide rims. I have 295/50-15 tires on 8" cragar rims right  now. I haven't had any issues with them rolling on the side wall. Was just thinking 10" wide is a better fit.
