Thanks, my tubs are 2 3/4" wide. They are available wider but I wanted to keep them on the small side.

You need to go back to the tire store; they installed your hubcaps upside down

Re: Show off your Wheels

I looked hard and long for "American made" mag wheels in my price range. No luck, so I went with the set of Rocket Mags to match my truck.

Do you know how wide your rear end is? I’m wondering if I can fit 17x9’s without tubbing the bed. My rear end is 62” wide

Re: Show off your Wheels

Here are my 1976 Cal Chrome 15x10 rear and 15x7 front. Couldn’t afford Cragars when I was a kid so I bought these knock offs. I hit them with some chrome polish but the rust has gotten the better of the fronts. Looked into getting them re-chromed, can buy Cragars for what they wanted. Chrome work is expensive in CA.

Re: Show off your Wheels

I wanted my truck to look like something someone would have put together in the seventies. Custom made from Wheel Vintiques: six bolt, 17" chrome rallies with derby caps. Truck sits on a 1997 Tahoe chassis so it has that kind of backspacing.

Love those 10 inch wheels on the rear. Looks great.

This is a 4th Gen (93-97) Camaro axle, which should be about 65.5" WMS to WMS. Give or take .5"

My 17x9.5 wheels have a little room to go out (towards fender), but with the huge positive offset, they sit in a little bit, so I cut the bed and will add small tubs. I may reverse this if I change rear end and use different wheels. Long story short, with proper offset/backspace, you should be able to fit a 9" wheel without tubbing.

I 'm probably going to swap to either a 3rd Gen Axle (61.5" WMS-WMS) or a Ferd Exploder 8.8, but shortened 3". I don't know what that width will be, but it'll center the pumpkin and be close to the width of my Jag IFS, so I can run similar backspace front and rear.
