The info is all over this section but see below

5x4.75 bolt pattern

15x3.5 with 1.75 BS

15x4 with 2.25 BS

tire depends on what your needs are. I'm running 26x7.5x15 MT Sportmans

I'm running the 4s with 2.25 and I have a 1/4"(I think) spacer on mine. I also had to do the normal caliper grinding

Weld R/T wheels are 15x4 with 1.50" backspace and fit without spacers or grinding, and to my suprise tuck fairly well.
