Re: Ordering wheels, quick question

A straight edge against the face of the brake drum and a tape measure will tell you what will fit. It all depends on how low the back of your truck is, the backspace of the wheel you use and the size of the tire you want put on the wheel. For instance, a 9" wide wheel with 6" of backspace will hit the inside of your wheel tub. A 9" wide wheel with 4" of backspace might stick out too much and rub the fender lip if you ever lower the truck. You really need to measure. Again, lots of youtube videos and posts on this forum about measure for wheels. I think lolife99 posted a how-to in the suspension forum.
