? Bout tires and wheels....

Ok here's the deal guys....
I got a '86 long bed that I did a 4.5"/6" drop on and I am wanting to run 15x10 rims all round with 295/50-15 all round....
So my question is "will I have any clearance issues with them rubbing or contacting the fenders?"
I don't have the back spacing measurements on the rims yet....
Ordering them from LMC Trucks.....
Please somebody lemme know on this issue....

Re: ? Bout tires and wheels....

Ya I figured rear would be fine....
Was mainly worried bout front more than rear....
Was told the combo was gonna be too wide, but just wanted to see if I could find out for sure before I buy my tire and wheel combo....

Re: ? Bout tires and wheels....

That combo isn't going to work on the front with that much drop, you need more like a 15x8, 4in bs, and a 245/60/15 tire.

LMC doesn't stock a large variety of wheels and sizes, try Jegs or Summit.

Agreed! This is the same setup I am going to put on my short bed.

And they will probably be cheaper if they have them.

Talking Re: ? Bout tires and wheels....

Ok I found these exact rims on jegs.com in the 15x8 and 15x10, but the only backspacing they got is 3.75".... (Both sizes)
So with this backspacing would they rub or contact the fenders at all?
If I have to I can run the 15x8 all round instead of 15x10....
