Re: Backspacing on 15x8 wheels

I ordered TTII's for my old truck in 2010, I think the 15x8's are 3.75" bs unless you order the expensive custom bs ones. They fit perfect, and look good with a 275/60. Run a 15x7 in the front, you have the perfect size tire to do so. The 15x7's are also 3.75 bs so you'll have a little deeper lip on the back. I'll dig up a pic of mine, blue and white 72 shorty, no imagination needed for you.

Here you go, this had 245/60's, my current truck has 225/70's. I like the size much better.
