Re: 15 x 8 rallys w/ 6" bs
Yes in the back.
No in the front. I have a set of 15x8's with 5" BS. They won't work up front. Any 15" wheel with over 3.5" of backspacing will require grinding of the lower a-arm. I think 4" BS is the max. You can get away with that much backspacing with larger diameter wheels (20's),... but not with 15's.

Re: 15 x 8 rallys w/ 6" bs
They might work on the front without drop spindles...

Re: 15 x 8 rallys w/ 6" bs
Agreed. Also will be close to the inners out back. Overall, I'd say the 6" BS is risky at best...

Re: 15 x 8 rallys w/ 6" bs
Are those 15x7 or 15x8 on the rear on the above truck?

I'm digging the look of it.
