How large a tire can I fit? 15x10

Hey guys..

I am thinking about going to more of a big and little look on my truck (I love that look) and I was wondering how much tire can I stuff under a LWB fleetside?

I am looking to lower it some. Would like to go 4/6 but if the tires wont fit then I could go with something less extreme.

Any help here?

BTW I am looking at some Crager drag lites (5 star design) if that helps.

thanks
CHRIS

I have 15x10 with 5" backspace Centerlines on the back wraped in 28-14.5-15 Quick Time Pros stuffed in mine. On a 10" rim tires are 28" tall 12" tread and 13.2" section. They clear the inner but I would have to modify the outer inner lip to tuck the section up in ( if that makes sense ). I don't think anything any wider would fit, this I hope gives you an idea of how big is too big. Or if you go with a 3-4 drop it would work and give you about a 2" space above the tire in the back, and a 235/60/15 on a 7-8" rim would give you the same in the front with a raked look.
