Re: Will 15" x 10" wide rim with 4" backspace fit with stock rear?

The stepsides have less room for tire and wheel than a fleetside. You will not be able to use a off the shelf 10" wide wheel on a stepside with a stock width differential, if it is lowered.

Todd46, you could do an easy(ish) mini-tub & fit 10's but would still want 6"bs so things clear. I've sold multiple sets of fleetside wheel tubs to step-side guys. Center & set them in place against the bedside wall & floor to mark the area the wood floor needs to be trimmed back. trim the floor. Mark & drill some holes. Some cutting & drilling & bolt the tubs in. You do lose bed space so 4x8 sheets of plywood would have to ride on top of the tubs but your truck can still do truck stuff.

Wheel Vintiques does custom back space set-ups for $25/wheel on top of their regular price (they did this for me in 2018).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
