Question For Tim Christian And Brad69-c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TIM: i was looking at the picture you posted of your truck and i noticed that fat tire and rim combination.
two part question: is that a 285/70/15 on a 10" rim, what back spacing is it, and are you going to have to streach the tubs to make them fit.

also will the tires stick out the sides?

BRAD60C-10: what wheel and tire combo are you using, and what modifications have you made?

i currently have 275/60/15 on 8inch rims out back on my truck and i want that fat look out back. i was just wanting to know what you two have done to give me an idea of how to fatin up my truck. they both look good and i would like to see what they look like with the beds on them.

thanks

Hey Mitch, On that truck I am running 15x10 with 4 1/2in backspace with 275/60/15 tires I hope the bed will work out alright. On the truck I just gave my son I am running the same but with 4 1/4in backspacing it has a fleetside bed on it and they don't stick out and on the inside they still have a 1/2in on each side before they would rub.

Mine are 15x12 Weld Draglites with a 4.5 b/s and the fronts are 15x6 draglites...

Tires are Hoosier Pro Street radials 29.5x15 in the back and Good Year aqua tread III in the front......

rear suspension is a 4 bar with HAL coilovers and the front is a drop spindle/drop coil spring................it is supposed to be a 4/6 drop, but I can't tell just yet...........hope this helps
