i have a set of tires (35x12.5 R15) with only ~2000 miles on them. i want to eventually be able to use these on my truck after some suspension modifications.

i remember some time ago (cant seem to find it with the search function) the maximum amount of backspacing to fit 15" rims on our 1st gens. i would want a 15x10 inch rim, so what amount of backspacing is required? is it possible or am i losing it? i dont mind the tires sticking out past the fender.


thanks for the help, Pat

 

I don`t think 15`s will clear the brakes unless you do some major grinding on the calipers.

 

Chris is right, your not going to put 15 " rims on a 3/4 ton truck unless you grind your calipers down to nothing. best to stick with 16" rims.

 

i wouldnt recommend it especialy if you got 4500lbs front axle they will never fit best thing is to get rid of those tires i tryed it too too much work involved

 

2.5 inch BS wheels fit

 

2.5" back spacing will leave 7.5" sticking out. Thats alot of wheel sticking out from the fenders.

 

right. i was just saying that they fit without grinding the caliper down if he so choses. i run them on my cruiser's front 60.
