In the interest in collecting what cool rims and tires work with the stock suspension setup that are available for our trucks, please post what you have found that has good fitment. Try and list as much info as you know in the format of:

Wheel brand/name, Size, offset, backspacing, bore diameter : Tire brand/name, size, fender mod required.

I'll start: Stock Wagon Wheels, 14", 40mm offset, ? backspacing, 91mm bore : Toyo Extensa A/S, 215/70/14, no mods

2000 Cadillac Escalade Wheels, 16", ? offset, ? backspacing, too small bore, P205 60R16 tires, Mods = running 1/4" spacers, slightly ground down wheel centering lip on the hub to accomodate the smaller bore and replaced the studs with 1/4" longer ones that accept the GM lug nuts originally used by the Escalade wheels. The hub still sticks out such that I can't get the center cap on. These mods were only for the front. No mods required for the back if I remember correctly but it's been a while.

Here's a picture of the wheels with the big tires that came with them, not the ones listed above.

I've got a plan to run Isuzu Snowflake wheels from early to mid 90s Rodeos on my 2WD. 15 inch wheel with something like 235 75r15 tires should yield a tire diameter that is very near stock with a wider tire and shorter sidewall.

These are Western Bullets. 14" x 6" with 195/70 R 14 tires.
Bought them in about 82 after I wore out the original tires.
Sometimes you will see them with a smooth hubcap.
Kind of a hassle to take them on and off because the lug nuts fit inside a counter bore instead of having a taper.
Wanted to bump the topic because its nice to see what others are running.

Has anyone tried to mount a set of new colorado rims and tires on one of the earlier models(72-79)? i want to do it but cant find a set of rims yet. might stop looking if it wont work anyway.

I bolted Colorado rims up and while the lug pattern works, the offset is wrong. Newer wheels like those on a Colorado are nearly flat on the outside, with too much dish on the inside.
