new wheels help needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

long time no post, looking at getting new wheels. I am definitely going staggered, I want to have 15x8 up front and 15x10 out back. I want to go with US mags U101 indy slots. The problem I have is the 15x10s have a 3.75 inch backspace and -50 offset. And according to the research i have done, 3.75 inch backspace wont work unless i modify my inner rear wheel tubs. Which I do not want to do. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I think you are confused.
A 10" wide wheel with a 3.75" bs will be close to the BEDSIDE not the inner wheel tub.
A 15x8 rally wheel has a 4" bs and there is tons of room between the wheel and the wheel tub.

Ahhhh yes that is a good point! makes more sense now, looks like i wont be able to run a 15x10 in that wheel after all.

Did you measure your truck to confirm that?

15x8 for the front 4" BS
15x10 on the rear 5" BS
This will tuck and prevent rubbing
