Tire size question
Does anyone know the maximum width tire one can use on the rear of a 71 1/2 ton longbed fleetside with coils and 15X10 wheels with a 4inch offset?

I've got 285/70R15's onthe back of my coil sprung '69 Stepside. Plenty of room, from eyeballing it, the bumpstops will hit before the tire hits the fender, and I've got 2" drop blocks in the back of mine also. I think the 285/70R15 is the equivalent of a 31x10.5R15 tire.

I would believe that they will fit, but you'll have to do some careful measuring or the fender width and rim backspacing.

After doing some measuring it looks like the opening in the rear wheel well is about 13.5" inches...so I guess I need to find out if the 345's are under 13.5 on a 10" wide wheel.
