Anyone running 15x10" wheels (Preferabley Truck Rallies) with a 2.5" - 4" drop?
Hey guys I'm seriously thinking of getting the 15x10" truck rallies. I have 15x8" rallies now but I want to go with a big tire in the back without it looking too much like a donut.
My objective is to get the widest tire I can without rubbing. I still want it to appear stock with just a touch of the hot rod look. That's why I'm staying with the truck rallies. I would also like the tire to tuck under the rear fender well IF I can manage this without rubbing. (the tubbed look without the tub.) My truck has the 2.5" front - 4" rear drop. I was wondering if anyone was running the 15x10" truck rallies with the 2.5" - 4" drop. If so would you mind posting a few pictures as well as your tire size, and wheel size with the backspacing. Thanks guys!

Re: Anyone running 15x10" wheels (Preferabley Truck Rallies) with a 2.5" - 4" drop?
With a 15x10 wheel with 5" bs and 295/50/15 you will have about 1/4" clearance on the outside and a 1" clearance on the inside in the rear. 4'" drop won't tuck tire. I have a 7" rear drop with this setup and the top of the tire is even with the fender lip.
You may be looking for a taller tire though. Sorry don't have any pics yet. |

measure up what you have now then use a tire/rim calculator to fine out what will fit YOUR truck.....
the calculators are everywhere like tire rack just google it try this one http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

Re: Anyone running 15x10" wheels (Preferabley Truck Rallies) with a 2.5" - 4" drop?
I am running 295 50 15s on my 8" rallies now and they are waaaaaay too short. I really would like to see pictures of the 15x10s tucking tires just so it will give me a real idea of how it will look. Thanjs for the tire calculator. It will get me close but I want to be certain before I spend the cash.
Anyone out there tucking rear tires running 15x10s? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Anyone running 15x10" wheels (Preferabley Truck Rallies) with a 2.5" - 4" drop?
Those tires look like the perfect width. I would just like that back tire a little bit taller maybe.
Do you have any side profile pictures? Thanks!

Re: Anyone running 15x10" wheels (Preferabley Truck Rallies) with a 2.5" - 4" drop?
It seems that it doesn't matter if I'm running 8" wheels or 10" wheels. Either way the tallest and widest tire I can run is the 295/65-15.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3762R/  Tire Diameter 30.00 in. Section Width 11.90 in. Tread Width 10.90 in. Minimum Recommended Wheel Width 8.00 in. Wont tuck tires unless I do a flip kit... Oh well... Any suggestions? besides the obvious? thanks.

I have a pair of 15x10 Rallys with 5" backspace. What front wheels are most running with the 15x10's ? 15x6.5 or 15x7?

Re: Anyone running 15x10" wheels (Preferabley Truck Rallies) with a 2.5" - 4" drop?
They're not rally's, but they are 10's...
 15x7's up front with 235/60r15's 15x10's out back with 295/50r15's I'm not sure of the backspace...

Where can I buy the 15x10 rallies? I have 295/50/15's on my 8" rims and they just don't look good.

Hey Thacker, where did you get the side-pipes, and are they functional?
Nice truck buddy... Quote:

Here's a pic of mine with a 6/8 drop with rally wheels. 15x8 (4" BS), 245/60 in the front and 15x10 (5" BS), 275/60 in the back. Sorry, this is the only pic I have of it with the rally wheels.
