Wheel question
I bought a set of 5 on 5 centerline wheels for the 2wd. The backs are 12" wide. Will the rub on the stepside or is there plenty of clearance???

Re: Wheel question
Might depend on the backspace if 12's will even stuff under there.

Re: Wheel question
With that backspacing they wont rub on the inside but they will stick outside the fender several inches.

Re: Wheel question
itll depend alot on backspacing, also if its lowered or not. I know its not the right year..& it is lowered , but here are 15X8"s with 4" back spacing I just put on mine. Have to trim inside edge of wheel wells , its a close fit, maybe 1/2" clearance. John

Re: Wheel question
The back of mine is not lowered, but the 15x8's looks like a good size.

Re: Wheel question
Check the smooties thread.One guy shows his and says the backs are custom-built 12".Maybe he knows his backspace#.You can put a good bit of backspace on these truck`s rears.
