15X10's on my 66 Stepside? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mikes66ChevyC10 · 10-19-2015, 04:18 PM

So I'd like to put a 15X10's on the rear of my 66 Stepside and I really like the US Mags Indy U101 slot mags that a vendor is selling here on the forum. They only come in a 3.5inch back spacing though. Anybody running 15X10's on a step side with a 3.5in bs?

Go ahead and look through my thread.
You'll see several pics from different views.
Mine are 15x10 with 3.5" backspacing.

Thanks for the reply LostMy65! Truck looks great! I'll check out your thread. What size are your rear tires? How much is your truck lowered? I was thinking of going with 285 60 15's or maybe 295's in Mickey Thompson ET Streets.

15x10s on my truck, dont know the back spacing off the top of my head. Love the look.

U.S. Wheel 70 Series White 8-Spoke Wheels.

295/50/15 is the size rubber.

Not a 15x10, but a 15x12. Borderline the most tire you can stuff on a stock rear end. Running 8.5"+ BS tho.

Thanks for your reply. Truck looks awesome! 15X12's and 325 MT ET streets man that's awesome. Your still running the stock rear right? I was thinking about doing wheel tubs also but I was thinking fleet side wheel wells might work good. They wouldn't be as big as the ones you did though.

Its a 12bolt from a 71/72. Its A stock rear end, just not the one from the '66.

My truck had a donor for its rear axle and its front suspension. The 12bolt is stock width, but running Moser 35 spline axles and a posi. The truck is tubbed 14", but only 6" or so is needed.
