Re: need help with 15x12 wheels
What's your backspacing?. From what I've read. 12" is the widest we can go without rubbing. What year is the truck?

Re: need help with 15x12 wheels
How far off is the wheel from seating fully around the wheel studs? Some pics might help.

Re: need help with 15x12 wheels
Roger that. I'll post some pics. They are about 1 1/2 from seating. I think I'm goin to take the drums to machine shop.
