how wide of a tire will fit
How wide of a tire will fit on a stock width rear end, before it rubs the leaf springs in the stock position but still fit inside the box wall (I will probably cut the stock wheel wells out)?

Re: how wide of a tire will fit
I don't know about a leaf truck but if you swap to trailing arms you can fit a huge tire. I had a 71 with no mods to the wheel wells and had 28x12.5 sportsman pro m/t's on it with a 10 inch wheel.

Re: how wide of a tire will fit

Re: how wide of a tire will fit
I have M/T 29x15R15 with 6.5 inch backspace, fits fine with about 1 inch from leaf spring.
The pic in my signature is old and without the new tires. Last edited by Nolowrider; 05-07-2009 at 11:45 PM. |
