Anyone out there using American Racing Outlaw II wheels?
I've got some rusted US Steel blades, looking at new wheels and like the look of these.
Going to go 15x8 front 3.75 backspace, -19mm offset
15x10 back 4.00 backspace, -38mm offset
(I have fender flares)

Tire suggestions would be of help too. I start to look at all the numbers, and my brain wanders off

Why not save some money and get your current steel rims media blasted and powder coated?

FYI- Fat tires in the back looks cool, but is a pain if you have a slider side door and also because you have to carry two sizes of spare. On a street driven van I would never go wider than 15x8.5. This is due to clearance, hydroplaning, and rolling resistance issues. You have to be careful with the offset on the front of your Dodge if you use wide rims.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

check this thread. i'm trying to get it started, because of the very reason you are asking about wheels, offset, width and tire size. i really wish some more folks would contribute to it. if they did, you could just go to the thread, find a pic of the look you like and know what size wheels and tires you want. anyway, i have 275's on the back of mine. pic is in this thread... Wheels and Tires
