Do you think these rims would fit my truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at a set of aluminum slotted mags for my truck. They're 15” in diameter, 8 ½” wide between the beads, a 5 on 5” bolt pattern, and a center hole diameter of just under 3” with a backspacing of about 3.5" . I'm concerned that they'll be too wide and cause the rear tires to rub on my stepside wheelwells. I'm planning on 255/60R15s in the front, and 275/60R15 or 295/(55 or 60)R15 in the rear. Anybody else have a stepside and the same tire and rim widths and backspacing? I appreciate any help.

As long as you're not lowered a lot, they'll work.

I'm only planning on putting 2 inch blocks in the rear for now like the ones you posted pictures of, and eventually bagging it a few years down the road. When I bag it though, I'm going to put 17" or 18" rims on, so I can get deeper backspacing on those to tuck them in better. Thanks for the input.
