Bought some new rims and tires - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here are some pics of my new rims and tires...the backs are 295/50/r15. How far will these stick outside of my stepside fenders?? The previous owner had them on a 1985 stepside and they didn't stick out that far.

Nice!!!! I've been wanting those wheels for my truck but in 17". Only problem is they're not 6 lug and I don't have the money to convert it to 5 lug right now. Post some pics when you get them mounted.

I believe they will sit flush with the outer fender edge. But, a 295/50 is just over 26 inches tall, so unless you are super low, they shouldn't rub the fender lips.
