What backspace are you running? And what tire sizes? Pics are welcome too. Thanks!

vern350 · 12-22-2008, 04:19 PM

4.5 inch backspacing with 295/50/15. I don't have these on now because of the lack of drop and the little tires make things looks out of place.

Tony_SS · 12-22-2008, 07:00 PM

Thanks Vern - looks great to me even as-is. Anyone else?

tractor1963 · 12-22-2008, 07:27 PM

I have 15x10 with 275/60/15,4.5 BS

Restrorob · 12-22-2008, 07:47 PM

Here's a pic of my 74 before stripping it down to the frame.

15X10 4.5 spacing with 295/50's with just a drop shackle kit.

Its not a 15 inch wheel , but it is 10 inches wide with a 275/60/17 tire and a 4.5" backspace. It will give you an idea of where the wheel will ride in relation to the fenders .

I'm sure alot of people are tired of seeing mine, but I'll add to the roster.

15x10 all around. Backspacing unknown. Tires are 255/60/15 in front and 275/60/15 out back. Suspension has a 2/4 drop. Thr fronts rub slightly.

would the tires rub if lowered

DomesticDisturbance · 12-23-2008, 12:04 PM

so frim what im reading here, a 4.5 backspace would be the way to go with the 15x10 wheel.

Unless you lower it a lot, or have a really wide tire. I have custom 6.5 backspace 15x10, with 29x15.5 Mickey Thompsons, they fit perfect and never rub.

I'm sure not tired of seeing it! That's one beautiful truck! Perfect stance.

I do have a couple of questions:

1) Is the 2/4 all you've done? No drop springs? I ask, because this is exactly how I'd like to do mine. What brand of spindles are you using?

2) Not knowing the backspace, let's assume for a moment it's 4.5 for the purpose of my question. If it were 4.5 and wheels with a 5.25 backspace were swapped out, would that "tuck" the wheels into the fender more, or push them out past the fender?

im probably only looking at running a 275 on the back of mine until i go bigger and better, so it shouldnt be a problem correct? and im not dropping a whole lot right off hand

oh and sorry for the thread jack

I agree with this setup. I have Billet Specialties rims and I have a set of 17" rims with the rears being 17" X 9.5" with a 4.5 backspace. Plenty of clearance on the spring.

Have any pics of that setup?

Richard D · 12-23-2008, 02:18 PM

I need to get some good overall shots of the truck, but here are some to show the fit.

Still need to put wider wheel tubs in the bed after butchering it in the dark.

Drop is a Belltech kit. Spindles, shackles and hangers.

Larger backspacing will push the wheels out.

f.monroe · 12-23-2008, 10:43 PM

To answer the couple o questions about my wheel setup , it might rub if I lowered it a couple more inches . My 18x10's I had on the tan truck were 5.25 inches of backspace and fit real nice . The tires are 275/60/18 Nitto's . This truck was only lowered 2.5/4 . The 15x10 with a 275/60/15 will fit the same but is just shorter overall because of the wheel diameter. I ran 15x10 Convo Pros with the same size tire years ago and they had a 5" backspace . Centerline listed it as a 4 7/8" backspace and it was perfect on a 15 inch wheel .

Actually 'less' backspacing pushes the wheel out. A 15x10 with only 3.5" of bs will push the wheel out farther than one with 5" of bs.

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing.
