Tire/wheel questions
I have a 68' LWB. What is the widest rear tire/wheel that I can run? Biggest backspace? Also, what is the widest tire that will fit on the stock 15"?

Re: Tire/wheel questions
If you don't tub it, probably 10'' or at the most 12" - I'm not sure about the rim question, but the back spacing is around 4.5", I believe. There have been a couple of threads on it.

Re: Tire/wheel questions
I have seen the threads, but don't remember the answers. And the search here doesnt seem to find what I look for.
