Need Help With Tires For New Rims
What size tire for the rear with 18x10 4.5 backspacing 4inch drop on a short fleet 1971 model. Front is 17x8 with 4inch backspacing 2.5 drop spindles. The rims are American torque thrust 11 I ordered the rear with this backspacing to keep the wheels under the truck. Thanks for any help.

10's are fairly wide but BFG makes a 295-45-18 that would fit that size wheel & offer decent sidewall height. Pirelli also makes a 285-50-18 that would fit but w/that size your starting to get a pretty tall tire that will have effects on your overall gear ratio.
