The rallies you have are probably 8" wide. GM didn't make 9" wheels. The 8" width is from the inside of the rim where the tire bead seals. I beleive the 8" rally wheels had either a 4 or 4.25" backspace.

Here's a shot of my truck with a 3.5/5 drop with 15x8 wheels with 3.75" bs running 255/60/15-275/60/15 tire combo.






The truck below is see ten's truck with 8" rallies and 275/60/15 tires all around and a 3.5/6 drop.
Those 15" wheels look good. I have 16x8 TT II's on all fours but I had rubbing issues with a 2" coil drop and a 2" spindle drop. I might go with 15x8 TT II's up front with 16x8's in the rear.

Back to the thread...I don't know why but not all those who dropped their trucks didn't have clearance issues while other (me) did.

Thanks for the pics 68Stepbed...
