Do 15x10's Fit under??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c10addict · 10-05-2007, 02:23 PM

Hello All,
I am working on my new shop truck project and am going to run 15" steelies on it... Its getting air ride and will get down really good.. I am wondering if the 15x10's fit under the inside of the bed sides (fleet side) and if so what offset should I go with... Most all of the pics I look at on here appear that the buldge of the tire would rub the bed side.. I am not worried about the inside, I can massage the inner wheel wells if I have to.. Love Pics! Thanks!!

I ran 15x10s with 295/50/15 for a long time. I wasn't dropped extremely low, but never had a rubbing problem. I don't remember exactly, but I'm guessing they were 4 - 4.5" back spacing.

I just sold my 15x10 rallys because they will rub.. I had 295/50/15 on em and yes, they stick out to far. I dont know what my backspacing was. I had a solid 2 inches between the tire and the side of my bed so they would of fit VERY nice if the backspacing was about 1.5 inches more...

Mine had five inch back space and didnt rub with 305/50/15s i had six inch blocks in the back..... it sat pretty low and didnt ever rub... i will try and find pics.. that was in high school. and i didnt take very many pics

the 10'' wheels never gave me trouble till I put some 31/13 mickey thompson's on. Then they rubbed a little on the inside.

cdowns · 10-05-2007, 05:25 PM

i had the same as arkracing did and had 4" drop coils and even with the truck load to coilbind i never had a rub

corn · 10-05-2007, 06:18 PM

6" drop & 10" slots with 275/60's. Havent had anything rub yet...

c10addict · 10-05-2007, 07:19 PM

looking at Corns truck it appears that if you got the bedsides down over the tires they woul rub... anyone make a 15x9 steel wheel????

c10addict · 10-05-2007, 07:20 PM

do you know the back space?

corn · 10-05-2007, 07:22 PM

Cant remember but the slots dont really have much back space. Most are 3 1/2 I think...

xmitsu10 · 10-05-2007, 07:48 PM

15x10 with 275/60 and a 5" rear drop. No rubbing. No issues. 4.25 backspace.

72highlander · 10-05-2007, 08:12 PM

15x10's and 275/60's, bagged, no rubbing at all. pumpkin will touch bed floor and tires don't rub. not positive of offset, but the right offset will work.

the 15x10s will fit NO DOUBT, but you HAVE to have the right offset backspacing... I had two inches between my tires and the side of the bed. All i needed was about an inch for what i needed to clear... Wrong backspacing... ftl

72highlander · 10-05-2007, 08:15 PM

if i'm not mistaken, i think mine have 5" backspacing.

Robznob11 · 10-05-2007, 08:21 PM
