does anyone know if my truck might have come with 15 or 16 inch wheels and what size radials would i need? will they also clear the caliper?
thanks

I think I've read here that they aren't deep enough for disc brake applications. However, I have also read here of people grinding a little off the caliper for clearance. This has been discussed many tmes on Stovebolt. Do a search for info.
