1972 proyect... i need help with 10" rims
Hello! i am new here, i'm from Chile and i have been reading a lot on this forum, i have a big question about the rims for my 72'... while my truck is in painting i bought 4 rims 15x10" US WHEELS SUPER SPOKE, so i want to put them all around, the problem is that here i see that most of the trucks use 8" in front and 10" in the back......
will i have issues with the 10" in the front? Can i put disc brakes in the front with a 10"? i am also thinking in 275/60R15 Tires all around.... Thanks guys! |

Re: 1972 proyect... i need help with 10" rims
It will all be dependant on back spacing of front rims. You won't have issues with factory size disc brakes fitting inside a 15" rim. 275 up front is a pretty large tire. Biggest I've seen is 255/60/15, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

My truck has been lowered 4" and has 10s all the way around. I am not sure about the back spacing but when I bought it, it had 295 50 16 on it. I am now running a 235 50 16. The 295 would rub a little if I hit a big hole or something.

Thanks friend!... i have read that for 10" rims... 245/70R15 on the front and 295/60R15 on the back should be fine too.
