Cragar Soft 8 15x8 Wheels on Pick-Up???
I was looking at getting the crager soft 8's in the link below, but when I call discount tire they said they would hit the caliper without spacers. Is this ture? Is anyone running these exact wheels? Im wanting to put them on a 92 4x4 pick-up.

lol, that's just stupid. I see tons of people here on the forums running those; maybe one will chime in
in fact, those are what I was going to get, had I not found these ProComp Xtreme Alloys on Craigslist
all though I'll admit, I have no idea what back-spacing you'll need, lol

Hmm... aren't stock steelies 15x7 w/4.25" backspacing? If so, a 15x8 with 4.00" backspacing should clear fine. Even though the rim is wider, the backspacing is less. The hub flange / center of the rim is closer to the inside edge of the rim with 4.0" vs. 4.25" backspacing and this pushes the wheel outwards.
Now, if you have a suspension lift or BJ spacers, 4.00" might not clear the upper control arm, but 3.75" will clear with room to spare.

Hmm... apparently Cragar stopped making Cragar soft 8s with 3.75 back spacing? they only go to 4" now. I checked their website... and you cant get this rim as 3.75 anymore. nor can you get it from summit, or any other store with 3.75. anybody wanna confirm that?

Same wheels here. We should change the thread into post up a pic if your running soft 8's. These sure are a popular wheel but they definitely look good on any toyota.

yeah who ever told you that they wont fit are retarded.. i work for americas tire.. same thing as discount just different states and i have unique 15x8's which are literally the same exact thing as cragars just different name.. just buy them and show them that they are wrong. id go with 15x10's though if you want your tires to stick out a little bit further..

I'm pro soft 8 thread 
haha
I dont think i'd run 15x10s. I heard its just easier to air down with 15x8s. a 12.50 is gonna stick out pretty far with or with out 15x10s or not.
I have tons of pictures of your truck, brandon. If you want me to post some pictures of your rims?
