Will 14 inch rims fit over my drums?
« on: June 11, 2013, 11:45:38 pm »
My truck is lowered, a lot. I found a nice set of wheels that I want to put on it, they are 14 inch. My biggest concern is if they will fit over the rear drums and clear the front discs/calipers, assuming the lug pattern is the same. I have 15's on now and they barely clear the rear drums. any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

i was hoping you would say like 3/4 or something lol. i cant ever remember seeing 14s on our trucks like shorty said they wont fit under his. and since your 15s barely fit, they would only be about 1/2 radius difference. i would bet they wont, i would even bet they wont even be the same bolt pattern

Never heard of 14's on these trucks, but nothing wrong with 15's just need the right size tire, mine is dropped 5 1/2" on the front and the clown I got the truck from put 195/60's on, looks like go-kart wheels on there,lol..

The 14's are universal pattern. The tire size isn't what I'm concerned about its just these rims are brand new 100 spoke wire wheels with brand new tires for $200. I just wish they fit on my truck. I guess I'll just put some new tires on my ET-Turbine Cyclones which look pretty darn good already
