Question 15 x 10" wheel



Does a 10" wheel fit in the rear with a 325-15-50 tire on a '80 Stepside? any idea on the backspacing? I would have to think it would looking at all the room in the rear fenders.

Re: 15 x 10" wheel

I have a '79 stepper with 33x12.5x15 tires in the rear, they clear well, so will yer new rollers - just watch the backspacing, might wanna do some measuring before buying them wheels.

Re: 15 x 10" wheel

Running a 275/60/15 on the rear of my fleetside. Wheels are 15x10. If you plan to run a 15x10 in the front as well, make sure you get the offset perfect, otherwise the tires will rub...
