Will these wheels work? PICS!!!
I have a set of American Racing 200s, Front:15x9, 3"backspacing and Rear:15x11, 4" backspacing. Will these work on my 72 SWB with 265/50 or 275/50 tires on front and 295/50 tires on rear? I gave the truck to my son, and he wants a meaner look.
Thanks, Swbman

Short Wheel Base!!! I think those rims will stick out about 1.5 inches further than the originals (15x8 with a 3.5 inch offset)

I'm guessing that they will work, should look mean and nasty too.

Randy is right...with that backspacing the rear wheels are going to rub in the fenders. At least on my stepside they will. I have 8.5 inch wide rims with 4+ backspacing and they barely fit into the wheel wells.

I have 15 x 10's on the rear of min and I love it. I'd put them all the way around if I could, but I don't want to replace my front wheel bearing constantly.

This truck to this day still has the original wheel bearings. It's been driven daily since new, who knows how many miles the bearings have on them. The truck has 200k plus miles on it when I sold it several years back. Besides, wheels bearings are less than 50 bucks for a whole new set.

You can go up to 12 inches wide, it's all in the backspacing.
