Well, when I say "reduce the stance" I wanted a way for the truck not to appear top heavy and teetering on the skinny, rubber band-like bias tires on my original 16's. They look good from the side but not from the rear or front. That's my personal opinion. So, the rims I recently bought supposedly came off a 1960 Apache. Same 6 lug pattern but they are 15" X 5.5 which I believe will increase my options for a little wider and lower profile tire maybe like a 205/70R15. Time to go tire shopping. Can someone write a permission slip to my wife?
