Just bought some new wheels for my 69 shortbed fleetside. It has the original rearend and a 4/6 ECE drop. The wheels are 18 x 9.5 with a 4" backspace (distance from the back of the mounting surface to the inside edge of the rim) From what I can research the tire section width will be 11.8". The tire will be 30.6" tall.

Can anyone tell me if this will fit? Is it too wide or too tall?

Thanks,
CST350
