How wide on rear wheel?
What’s the widest rear wheel I can run? Truck has 8” GM rally’s now with 4” backspace. 10” possible with 5” back spacing? I’m looking to mount and run 275 M/T drag radials. Truck is all factory including wheel tubs.

Those should fit fine on the wheels you have now. They are just a bit over 11" total width. You should end up with nearly a couple inches on each side. Lorne

10" w/5"bs should work fine. That can easily be verified w/your current combo by putting something 1" thick on the inside of the current wheel/tire & 1" on the outboard side. Rotate the wheels w/it on jack stands & look for any issues.

I have 15x12 Weld alumastars on my 72 with Mickey Thompson 29x15.5x15's.
With the stock wheel tubs they just barely rubbed, Didn't trust it to run it down the track so I sprung for the +4" wheel tubs ($179/pair scratch and dent from jegs), oddly enough they were not scratched or dented. Other than being the wrong color - they were perfect. After the tubs went on there is more than enough room to tuck the 18.5" wide sportsman's and still have room to party! |
