I won't need tubs for my tires - I don't intend to run real wide tires

lay 2 cross sills on the frame and you'll know exactly how much reinforcing to add
everything is made from 10 ga steel, i boxed both sides of the added material with 10 gauge flat plate

if you don't think you need tubs for 255 wide tires, think again
i tubbed to the springs, approx 3''

Can you tell me what your backspace and offset are I like the look, my 52 is very stock in height and the PO had crap wheels that were pieced together so I am painstackenly looking for replacements.

I am wanting to go with bigger Cokers in back, bt looks like the whites are 3/4" wider on the tires above 235. I figured 255 on the back and 225 or 235 on the front but am concerned about the differences in white wall width. Looking forward to seeing your pics

Here is the truck. I will get some better pictures after I get it back from the shop, it is in for safety. Those are Coker Classic Radials with 3 1/8" white walls, 235/75R15 on Crager Delux 69 7x15 rims.

255's on the front might be a bit big,not look to good, imo.

May I ask what backspacing is on those 8" wheel vintiques with the 255's on them?

They are series 12 by wheel vin tiques.
4" back spacing.
Tires are brand new onback and for sale if your interested.
Going to a different sizing.

Thanks for the info.. i'm just having some fitment issues with 15x8" Cragar Delux's with the 3.75" and 255/50R15 rubber. Mild rubbing on the fender edge. 4" backspacing would have been perfect I might need to drop to 235 width.

Mine rubbed slightly also. Used a bat. Never rubbed again and came out great. Something like this...but I did not use the heat gun...

255/70-15 on the rear smaller on the front with 15"wheels
I tried a 275 on the rear of one of the trucks I had, but it rubbed the bed side and blistered the paint
No C notch an any of the trucks but I do have 2" blocks and they do not bottom out

I know they are not 15's... mine are 17"s but they are 275/45/17 all around and fit nicely. My truck is a 49.
