Staggered Tire Size& backspacing

Hey guys, I have a 1984 C10 that's been my grandfather's since new, I'm trying to keep it fairly original but would like to do corvette/camaro Rally's on it,ide like 15x10 with a low offset (deep dish) in the back and a 15x8 that's about even up front, going for a small rake to give it kindof that drag stance with fattys in the back what size tires would I be looking for and where should I look for rims I found a few from Coker tire. Photos much appreciated the truck is a regular cab longbox.

I have a step side but similar wheel size to what you're considering. Up front I have 15x7 with 0 offset and 245/60r15, rear 15x10 with -44mm offset and 295/50r15.

Re: Staggered Tire Size& backspacing

Still looking great Malo! We're still playing around with old Blue Boy here in South Arkansas. We're running 235 70R15 up front on 15x8 and 275 60R15 on 15x10 in the rear. Bought our wheels from Wheel Vintiques, but I think I might shop around if I had it to do again. Our wheels aren't rusting as some say theirs are, but they are discolored now around the weld in the center. I still love the look, though, and Blue Boy gets lots of compliments and offers to buy him.

Thanks. I wouldn't change anything; your truck looks great just like it sits. GTT
