Re: 10" Slotted Mags

The 10" mags from back in the day almost always had a 3.75" backspace. It seemed to be the standard that all of the wheel manufacturers used. To fit a 10" under your stepside, you will need a minimum of 4.5" (preferably 5") on your backspace. On a stepside, I would use caution and go with a 5" just to be safe.

That's too bad, because a 10" with the old-school 3.75" backspace looks killer on a truck when the wheels are tucked in the wheelwells. You can always narrow the rear end a couple of inches. A 4.5" decrease in the total width would work just right!
