rim size and offset

I just had my wheel tubs widened 4.5 inches and the floor redone for a nice factory look. Truck is a 72 C10 with factory width rear. I have purchased 29 x 15 x 15 Mickey Thompson street radials and would like to run a 12" rim. What offset would work? Any pictures with 15 x 12 rims?

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: rim size and offset

Sounds like it's time to break out the straight edge and measuring tape. Wish I could help. I posted to bump the thread for ya though.

Re: rim size and offset

Here is an old thread to look at ,
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=251905
I'm interested in your bed ,did the 4 1/2 inches put you in to the next board past the next strip? Assuming it"s wood. Got a picture. I'll do some measuring on mine later today but I think a 4" backspace is about as much as you want with 12 " rims and those tires.
