RE: 15" or 16" aftermarket rims?

Anatonio, I have a 2003 without ABS and the 15 X 10s wont clear the front calipers. The older trucks like yours woody's and Rob's dont have these issues. Mine is still work in progress and I still intend to make them fit , BUT, if I were to do it all again , I would go straight for 16 X 10s. Articulated shackles are available, I've seen them advertised on Ebay from time to time. I dont however remember anyone having fitted them and have never heard any reports on them either good or bad. This must , I guess, mean that they are either overpriced and dont give you any benefit , or , they are feckin brilliant and it's a well kept secret by people that own them.

Think you can see the rust a lot more than the clearance

@Antonio , when you put the rims on, they are prone to rust where the rim meets the face (if that makes sense?)
a bead of silicone all the way round to seal up the gap has been the advice in the past to prevent this occuring
