Yes... they are 15x10 rallys with 5" backspacing with BFG 295/50's. They do fit without rubbing any on the frame / wheel tubs or the fender lip. I did all the fitment measuring before I bought everything, and also got lots of helpful info / pics from a few fellow boardmembers that had the same setup. I'll be dropping the truck more in the future, so I had to make sure these would tuck nicely. I did buy the wheels from Summit... They are Wheel Vintiques rallys, but I got them cheaper buying them through Summit (cheaper shipping).

Here's a couple more pics of the rear of the truck...

Got started on my engine swap in my crew cab. It's been sitting for 3 years and I started a build thread

Replaced the worn out alternator, v-belt, air cleaner and pvc valve. Used a Ultima 94 amp remanufactered alt. from O'Reilly's, a Gates belt and other items made by Purolator. I did the easy part; my friend did the hard part!

Voltage reading wint from 12.6 (even lower at times) to 14.5 with a load.

yea loveing the look of the 295's can you go any wider safely?

foamypirate · 09-19-2011, 04:16 PM

Got my bucket seats and some other misc. crap into shed out back so I could make room to get the bed off my truck.

Still waiting for circumstances to work out to get it off the truck. Seems like all of my friends/wife/brother all broke at the same time. Brother is having nerve issues in his arm, wife had ankle surgery, other friend moved to VA, etc.

Last night i'm glancing through craigslist and see a guy selling like new tires 235 /255/ 70 tires and 7 / 8 rallys like I want for the Burban until I can afford what I really want. Turns out they were 15min from where the swapmeet was so I drove 70 miles to go get them.

Those will work well w/the right drop. Nice score.

I am very happy. I could not have even paid for the tires for what I got these for.

I really don't think you could go much wider with a stock width axle and still keep the tires inside the fenders. The 15x10 wheel-295/50 tire combo fills the fender wells just right. Here's a rear view of the truck after I got these mounted.

got some rust free rear doors for my crew cab, made a deal with a guy down the road, he let me have the doors off of a 90 suburban in exchange for me taking the front clip off, works for me.

Was it the exploding kind?

jitteryguy · 09-20-2011, 10:07 AM

ya, it was. the goverment pays way to much for these truck's till they hit one of these, then there worth every penny ! we've lost 3 trucks this year with out any serious personal injuries.

Kerlijah · 09-21-2011, 01:36 AM

Picked up a custom dual cowl induction hood off craigslist for 80 bucks!! From a guy literally 3 miles down the road from me no less. Got it all sanded down and sprayed some rattle can primer, good 'nuff till I can get the whole heap painted. Been looking for a hood like this forever, couldnt pass it up at that price!!

I also tried installing my new seats (out of an '04 Sierra) but because of how my cap floor flares up over the gas tanks, the seats sat about 4 or 5 inches too high...I have no idea what I'm gonna do to solve that!!

MalibuSSwagon · 09-21-2011, 02:00 AM

Spent $200 to re-register a Honda, the C10, and an ugly car trailer.

Diff cover sprung a leak, replacing that tomorrow I hope.

Glad it is a problem for the mechanic instead of the surgeon or the chaplin!
