Re: Widest wheel/tire combo 70 stepper ??
What look are you going after?
Do you care if the wheel hangs outside the fender? How much is the suspension lowered. Which rearend? Wide 70 rearend? Narrow 70 rearend? Is the bed tubbed? Stock? We need a little more info please.

Not sure what you mean about wide/narrow rear. It's a 12 bolt with 3.73 gears. Bed is not tubbed. Stock. Just lookin to put on the widest tire without tubbing. Thanks. |

"70 was a split year.
Early '70-6 lug narrow late '70-5 lug wide. Also alot will depend on the wheel you'd like to run as offset will play a big part in where the tire will sit. T

Re: Widest wheel/tire combo 70 stepper ??
I also have a wide 5 lug
I tried a 15x10 with 3 1/4 bs and a 12 in. wide tire. it was too wide by about 1/2 inch (to the outside) and was going to hit the fender. Your ww radius is bigger,so it would probably work and with more backspace you could probably go wider. T
