Re: Working Man's Burbon

I have a question about wheels on Suburbans. The current wheels are 15x8 with a 3.5 inch backspacing. That width and backspacing isn't available on any of the wheels I am looking at for replacements.
The question is has anyone had problems running 15x8's with a 4 inch backspacing?
The rear tires are 275-60-15 and the fronts are 275-60-15.
The front has 71-72 factory disk brake spindles and is lowered 2 inches and the rear axle is the wider 71-72 5 lug axle.
The rear fenderwells show signs of the tires rubbing occasionally.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
