i am more of a 4x4 guy on my info so bare with me on my momentary laps of better judgment .

i have this 85 c-10 short bed . she is down 2.5" front with spindles and 2" hanger drop rear with 1" longer shackle for the extra .5" to match the front . so its still stock rake but down 2.5" front and rear . stock gm v8 front coils and 3 leaf rear springs . has a ls swap 5.3/4l60-e . . . bla bla bla .

i have a set of 15x10 4" b/s on the rims i like and was thinking maybe of stuffing them under this truck . would this be to fat of a rim under the front ?

and the kicker is the rims are 5x5.5 bolt pattern so i need adapters and looks like there 1.25" thick so this kicks them out even more .

in the pic its on 31x10.50x15 tires & gm 88-98 sport truck rims for rollers yet .

just trying to plan my next more and get this done now that my other project is basicly done . she got road tested today .

Unless you have narrowed a-arms they are not going to fit, especially with the spacer. You can run 10's in the front but it needs to be the right backspace and have no spacers. Also, they have thinner spacers but the 4" backspace is too far out on a 10" wheel.
