15" wheels? I need exact sizing... Help

[Hazieview]

My truck has drop spindles in the front and shackles/hangers in the back with one of the leafs cut out. (about 2.5" front 4" back drop)

These are the wheels!

Will 15x10 wheels work with a P295/50R15 tire?


Does this look right?
94-5055 15x10 on 5X5.5 -38 mm 4 1500 lbs. 34 lbs



Thanks for the help I just want to be absolutley sure before I order the wheels! thanks!

My 74 1/2 ton with the 12 bolt has a 4.75 lug pattern size, You may want to measure across the center of your lug nuts at the furtherest point for the correct size.

I have the same size tire/wheels on the back of mine with 6" drop and have no rubbing issues.

If your setup is stock, then you're need a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. It doesn't list a 5 on 5 for the 15x10s for those wheels. The 295/50s will work on 15x10s, but should 'bably consider more backspacing than 4" to push the wheels inside the fenders. BTW, are you considering those wheels on all four corners?

Hey thanks for the replies. Yes I will have the same size wheel for all 4 wheels. Would a 15x8 be better?

Like this?
94-5850 15x8 on 5X5 -19 mm 3.75 1500 lbs. 28 lbs.



I also want the deepest "lip" I can get!

Using 295/50s on 15x8 will just meet the minimum rim width requirements, but they may not look right on 15x8s. The 15x8s with the 3.75 BS will push the wheel inside the fender lip in the rear, but I would think the a bit more BS is needed in the front, say ~5". I would think that much backspacing shouldn't be a concern with inference with the 2.5" drop spindles. Unfortunately, you may have trouble trying to find the right BS from non-custom wheels. 275/60s or 255/60s may look better on 15x8. Take a look at Malo's setup (http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...69&postcount=2) (even though he has more drop than you do). But, it would leave you the option of dropping the truck further, should you decide to in the future.
