you guys running 9.5 plus width wheels in the back. about how little b/s do you think one could get away with if tucking is not a concern?
any ideas for the front.

I need to run a 18x10 all the way around with a 305/45-18
28.7 inches tall.
thanks

I'm running 15x10 with about 4 inch BS. The tires (295/50/15) are even with the outside lip of the fender. The won't tuck under. I have probably about an inch 'till they hit the leafs. I don't know if you could run more back spacing if you have coils

thanks

I run 15x10's and 275 60's on the rear with 4.5 back spacing and their completely within the wheel well. fronts are 15x8's and 255 60's with 8.25" back spacing, 10's on the front may stick out a bit.

I've got 285/70R15's on the back, 31" diameter on 15x10 rims with the standard 4" backspacing. No clearance problems.
