Tires/rims- How BIG????
I'd like to hear how big of a 15" tire you can fit under a coil spring rear and how much backspace will work?.

Re: Tires/rims- How BIG????
I have 15x10's on the back of my truck, with a 5-inch backspace. The tires are 275-60's. Plenty of room.

Re: Tires/rims- How BIG????
I think 14" overall width is about max. I'd like to try a N-50

Re: Tires/rims- How BIG????
Thanks for all the replies. I'm definitely staying with a 15" rim and tire to save money. I've decided on a 10" wide rim (don't know what kind yet) so is a 5" -5.5" the deepest backspace that will work with no mods??
