Around here it is getting VERY difficult to find a tire place that has 15s in stock or that will even bother to order them. I am not a super low profile tire guy. I like to see rubber on my wheels. I try to keep tires in the 50 to 70 series profile range. 45 and lower I am just not a fan of. Those factory wheels do look good on the trucks. Mine was 205/75 x15 from factory. I probably would go with a 225/60x17 or 255/50x17 today. This is only picture I have of my old 97.

Thanks Bill.


It continues, the fight is real.



Once again, this may or may not be the answer.

BUT....

I do find myself drawn to this style of Range Rover Mondials. At 5x120 not exactly the same as S10 pattern.They are 18” and I have no idea if they would need spacers to sit right on the S10 and also if they would fit without fouling anything or anywhere.

But I like them, and especially in this cheap and nasty gold colour which possibly is too close to the trucks own colour.

So black or Silver may be better options, should it happen.

Chatting to @PaulY earlier we did discuss the Merritt and possibility of getting them diamond cut, both on the star ridge and outer rim.



This seller has 5, which is kinda ideal.
