another tier size question
I have a 62 step side with 3.5 inch drop up front and 5 in the rear and was wondering what the biggest tire size I could fit without any modifications to the truck except for rolling the lip on the rear wheel well?

The backspacing of the wheels you plan to use makes a huuge difference. I hope this helps! Last edited by lakeroadster; 01-13-2011 at 08:25 PM. |

Re: another tier size question
I had 295/60-15s on the back of mine, and when it was loaded (so imagine dropped 4") the tires rubbed horribly. This was on 15x10s with 4" backspacing. I have 15x8s (3.25" backspacing) now with 265s and they fit well.
