I am running 3" back spacing. The truck fenders outside to outside are 76.5 inches. I am running 275/60 15's on 8 inch rims. The outside measurement on the tries mounted is 75.75 inches. There is 54 inches between the tires on the inside.

I guess I should have added a pic. I want to run what the red truck has and was wondering who is running something on a 15" wide wheel. I like them 20x15's a lot

Can't add any specs, but here's some more wide rear wheel eye candy for you. Unfortunately, I don't know who owns either truck to find out the specs.

Thanks for the pics, them trucks are running a 10" wheel with a reverse hoop. The problem I have ran into is the 8.8 rear I am using needs to be narrowed at least 3" to re-center the offset pinion. So by the time I find used 9" or buy a currie rear end I can have mine narrowed and spend the money saved for a set of 20x15's. If the motor I am building for this runs anything like the one in the 67 I sold it will have no trouble smoking them off.
Good to see you around BTW
