Hi I have a49 chev p/u 5 window on a s10 frame with a 4x4 diff. I don't want to tub it.thinking of 15" X8-10"rim with 2 1/2 " back spacing. i think this would make the tire fit in fender well with out wheel spacers .I'm starting to look at rims and just wanted to know what tires size,rim width, back spacing other people are using

I'm running 1.25" spacers front and rear. 17x8 torque thrusts with a 4" B.S. on a 4x4 diff. Rear wheels fill the wheelwells very nicely. I'm using the good spacers, the ones with 10 lug nuts each!
