Will 15x8 wheels fit on my truck? I want to go with BFG's new mud-terrains, but also go with a 15x8 wheel.

Sir, you haven't ever been to Iowa. Anything is possible, just try hard enough. Anvils tend to make things easier, but to answer your question... they might. all depends on the backspacing, but if it was me... I'd make em fit!

i can only find ones with 4.5 backspacing and they will stick out atleast 2 1/2 inches farther. stock wheels are 6in backspace + the inch you gain with the 8inch wheels.

Yes. I'm going to do a 2" bl. I have 31 10.50's on it. I have a slight t-bar crank too.

That's about what I've found too. Mostly 4in backspacing.

I've been looking at the superlift 2" suspension for mine. Just can't afford that plus wheels and tires right now. Gotta choose one.

I'll be gettin a '84 Mazda pickup, so I might be looking for wheels for that too though.

well, look at my avatar... those wheels are 15x8 with 4.5" BS

The tires are 31x11.50R15 Interco LTB's

I did some grinding of the wheel well, cut some of the plastic, a very tiny bit of the body corner behind the front tires... and its okay now... I cant crank the wheel like I used to, but that could also be due to the LTB's... they're more like a 32 with that kind of tread.

But I still do rub a little. But its managable.
If you want more pics I can give ya a link to photobucket

All s10's have the same bolt pattern.

My truck is a ZR2. So it already has a lift from the factory (I think 2" BL and 31" tires)
My wheels are 15x8 with 4.5" of BS. The bolt pattern is 5x4.75
With these wheels, I also needed longer wheel studs installed. Most places should have them available...
