I was looking for 10 in wide rim for rear of my 80 truck,the rims I found are 15x10 but only with a 5 in. backspace I don,t think that is enough,what are other guys running,

5.5 IN BS ON 9.5 IN RIMS 275X17X50 TIRES

4.5 BS BS WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT WITH MY SET UP (STILL DONT FILL UP FENDERWELL THE WAY iLIKE BUT ARE OK)

BUT WITH 10 IN. RIMS THAT SHOULD BE ABOUT ALL YOU CAN DO WITHOUT RUBBING . THAT IS WITH 5 IN BS . 275 OR 295 MEATS WOULD LOOK REALLY GOOD .
