4.5 or 5" backspacing for 10" wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to order 2 15X10 wheels but cant decide on backspacing. Summit lists both 4.5 and 5". I'll be running my old 29x9x15 tires. Later on might switch to old drag radial tires. My 69 c10 has original rear with 5 lug conversion axles. Thanks

if they look to clear after measuring i'd choose the 5"
i had my 71 with 10" and 4.5 always wished i had taken the 5 for that bit extra tuck
