Tire sizes
I plan on running 15x8 truck rally on my 62 fleet side. What is the widest tire I can run on the back without rubbing. Will have 3 in drop springs in rear.

Re: Tire sizes
I have 275/60/15 on the rear. I have about 1" clearance but am running a 72 rear end with a 4" drop.

Re: Tire sizes
I actually have not put them on yet. I just painted the wheels and wanted to wait to scratch them up plus I need to put front brakes on and since my wheels and lug bolts were new they came loose a few times but I think now they are stretched out.

Re: Tire sizes
Well maybe not truck rally. Looking at the wheels vintiques 35 series style rally. 15x8 with 4 in backset. Anybody running these on a 62 fleet side. They also have a 15x10 with 4.5 in backset. As said,will have 3 in drop springs in rear and want to run widest tire possible.
