Pics of trucks with 15X10 rims?

Can I run 15X10" rims all around on my truck? How do I measure what kind of backspacing I need? I'd also like to see pics of 15X10's on our trucks. Thanks.

Is 15X 9.5 good enough for you? Stock height in the rear, saggin in the front (500,000 miles will do that to original springs)
I don't know the back spacing, but i may be able to find out come this weekend for you.
Oh, and it's a coil rear too.

To find your max backspacing, Measure from the inner fender to were the wheel mounts on the axle minus 2 inches or so for the tire and you got it.

I've always run 15x8 (front) and 15x10 on the rear. Truck was lowered in this pic.
I dont remember the backspacing though sorry...

"71 Chevy 15x10 on rear, no rubbing problems
