Re: Cragar rims back spacing and rear tire width

Here's a couple pics of a 275/60/15 on an 8 (some 10's)

I'd do 8" wheels and 275/60s .. that way if you had any future plans for lowering it (?) it would still tuck under the wheels wells without rubbing issues. (just me)

I have never seen your truck, not saying it would look bad either way. BFG / Silvertown 285/70/15 looks sick on an 8" wheel, especially if the truck is dropped a little. But they are MEATY. Looks killer on a low and lean Big Block truck though. ..

Just my personal tastes, I think if you're doing 20's, go with a 10" wheel. If you're doing less than 20's .. go with a narrower wheel. 18's, do 9.5" wheels. 17's, do 8.5-9" wheels.. etc. 15's, I'd do 8" wheels.. just sayin.
