A 10" rim is really 11" lip to tip so you ar looking at 6" of wheel outside the hub face. Then you have at least 1/4" of tire bulge. Take a wheel off and drop a plumb bob off the inside edge of your fender. Now take a tape measure and measure 6 1/4" out from the hub. The distance past the string is minimum how far out the fender the tire will be.

No.
If it was an 8" wide wheel I would say yes.

Being an 8 lug axle may throw things off compared to most with half ton axles. How wide is it?

not a good idea

It would be like bolting on a 15x8 ralley wheel (up front) with a 1" spacer behind it.
It's not going to happen.

I have a set of Intro Pentia 20x10 with a drop in the front but have 275s and I would not do it again. This is on a 72. Do not rub but are too close for comfort and if you want to really "tuck" them it isnt going to work right. I also have 5 inch BS.

nobody with pics?

El Campo · 12-17-2011, 11:50 AM

I took mine off and am sending them to get rehooped down to 8.5 because they just didnt really work period. Otherwise I would take a picture and you could see what I mean. The outside of the rim and tire were where the lip of the fender should be. I love the idea of having all that wheel in the front but with a 5 inch backspacing mine did not work well enough to keep that way

thanks for the info i guess i'll leave them
alone dont need more parts i cant use.....
