Getting the Wheeling Fever
Maybe I need to learn the search better, but I searched +Stock +Wheel +Size, or something like that and searched through 4 and a half years of posts and couldn't find this info. Tons of info on Gen I's and a little on Gen II's....nothing on Gen II.5's.

So, can anyone tell me the stock wheel WIDTH on the Gen II.5? Is there an easy way to check?

I was under the impression that I have 15x8's, but someone told me that they were pretty sure they are 15x7's. I don't have new wheels in the budget and I like the look of the stock wheels. So, that makes a big difference in what tire width I purchase. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

That is a bummer, so I basically have to choose between 33x10.5's and 32x11.5 (which technically are too wide, but can work) 1 inch taller or 1 inch wider....in BFG's they both weigh the same. The 32's are $18 more per tire....hmmm

Knowing that I am putting a 2.75" suspension lift on the truck before the tires get fitted, and down the road, plan a 1-2" body lift, which would you choose and why?
