Question on wheels

So I'm guessing these won't fit at all, but maybe someone will know for sure. And maybe someone will at least tell me what I WANT to hear, whether it's true or not



They're 15x10, 5" offset. I'm not wanting to run some huge mudding type tire, or even a typical much higher sidewall truck tire, it'd probably only be a 255, 265 width, something like that. I wouldn't put a 305 tire or anything on it.

It's a stock 54 3100 chassis, no IFS or nothing, ultimately lowered with a drop axle.

Re: Question on wheels

Well they may bolt on but I doubt that the tires would clear the body without a lift. Sometimes you have to just back up and think things out.

You could probably get away with 15x7 or 8 wheels or 16x7 or 8 wheels with 245 or 255 tires and not have clearance problems or look like a cartoon rig. It might not have the "Bubba" factor but it would be a lot more practical and usable.

Re: Question on wheels

I figured that'd be about it. The fenders look like there's so much room but I guess there isn't once you really start putting a wheel that wide in there. Thanks for the info.
