Re: Will 15x11 steel wheels with 7 inch backspacing fit?

I had two 15x8 stock ralley wheels off my 69' C10 widen to 15x12 with 7 inch back spacing and they went on my original 6 bolt rear end with no modifications to the rear. I split the rear tubs and moved the inner part of the tub in 4 inches like a lot of people do to keep the stock look. The wheels went over the stock brake drums with more than a inch clearance. I wanted to go 15x14 but my son talked me into the 15x12 instead. I put the Mikey Thompson 29x15x15 sportsman fire tread tires on the wheels. After installing the wheels and tires, I found out the 15x14 would had worked with the bigger M&T 31x15x18 tires. Now I have to save up for that combination. The 15x12 with the tires cost around $1,300. The 15x14 with the tires will cost around $1,500.
