I went with the Team III wheels and like what I got. I also went with the Goodrich Radial TA's, the same size as Dusty. I think a Corbra looks best with 15" wheels. I have 9" width rears and 8" front wheels. I went with the B&B recommendation on the back set. While I am certainly no expert, the back set depends on the clearance on the inside of the tire. Too much and you'll rub the suspension, too little and you'll tear up the fiberglass in a corner if you hit a bump. The width of the rim can affect it if that's the point of interference, most often it's the tire. Go to the tire manufacurer's web sites and they will give you the tire with on a certian rim. With your set up, you have some choices, but B&B's recommendations will probably do you fine.
