Ok, well, i've decided to run 15x10 steel wheels.. i'm going to order them from Jegs (the Cragar Soft 8's), b/c that's the cheapest i've found.. I am also running 77 F150 knuckles and disc brakes, as well as WH riser bracket and Stonecrusher Steering TRO... The problem is, that the Cragar soft 8's in this size only come w/ 4" backspacing.. Which i know is not going to be enough to clear my setup. SO, i'm going to order Spidertrax 1.25" spacers for the front and rear. Any of you guys running these? How do you like them? Can you take some pics of your spacers and front shots, i don't want to see a big gap between the wheel and discs, however, i guess there is no way around this?? is it noticeable?? And, if i decided to run the American Racing rims, which are about 40 bucks more a set, w/ 3.75" backspacing, do you guys running stonecrusher steering w/ TRO know if it'll clear?? Thanks

Luke, I'm running almost that exact same setup. I have 79 knuckles with disc brakes, Stonecrusher steering with TRO, wheels with 4" BS and 1.25" Spidertrax spacers. It works great, and unless you know the spacers are in there you don't notice them at all. I don't have a good pic of just the front axle, but could take a couple if you'd like. I'd go for it if I were you.

Here are some pics. I have 15x8 wheels with 36x12.50-15 tires. Keep in mind that I have narrowed the front of mine 8" so that makes the tires stick way out farther in front than they would if it weren't narrowed. Let me know if you have any questions.
