15" rim ?

Will this size rim fit in the titan? Also will coilovers and uca in the front and shocks in the back fit 35" tires? Is the bolt pattern on the titan the same as a chevy?

15's definitely won't fit. There are even some 17's that don't fit.

Re: 15" rim ?

From what I understand, this is because of the size of the brakes. The wheels have to clear those and that is why 17" is the smallest you can go.

Re: 15" rim ?

There is one 16" wheel that will fit though. Wish I could remember the manuf. But it's an ugly @ss wheel anyway.

To fit 35's just get a PRG leveling kit. And yes the bolt pattern is the same as a chebby, but the hub is bigger on the Titans.

Re: 15" rim ?

You could possibly be comprimising the structural integrity of the calipers. I wouldn't do it. Too much risk involved.

Re: 15" rim ?

Thanks for the info. I have a set of rims and tires this size sitting in my front porch, guess I will have to sell them. How much should I ask? It is an eagle rim with BFG A/T.
