Re: What wheel & Tire combo to use?

I'm running 275/60/15's with 10's on the back of both my trucks. I've had as wide as a 305 but they can rub the outer sheet metal. 4.5 back spacing.

OK it was'nt funny , I do wonder is there other rear ends that would swap
w/o too much grief and give a bit narrower track and keep the bolt pattern ?
anybody ?
what about adding the front wheel opening to the rear of the truck or would
that destroy the "classic" look anybody on here seen or done that ?
of course that would open the body work can of worms
