Centerline Tomahawk Snipe

[lil hoodlum]

Good day everyone,

I know this information has been discussed in many different threads but so help me, I am still confused.

Background, 1968 C10 2" lower springs in front with stock height spindles with aftermarket disc brakes. Stock height rear end 12 bolt narrow width.

I want to get a set of Centerline Tomahawk series Snipe. Part #207 7806 655. 17.0" X 8.0" 6 X 5.5" bolt pattern with the large bore (3.5"). The rims are only offered with 5" backspace.

My question is, how will the 5" back space look? Will I have any issues with tire rubbing. I most likely will be using 235/75R17 up front and 255/70R17 in the rear.

I just measured my axles and disc brake hubs. Rear axle is right at 3.5". Disc brake hubs are a little under 3".

Any help would be appreciated before I make a costly mistake $$$.
