biggest rear tire with no tubs?

[ash]

What is the biggest tire (height and width) a guy could go without sticking out of the fender very far with no tubs. and how wide or rim and what offset? thanks

i used 8 inch rim 2 inch off with 295/50/15 works good

there is still more room....

i got a sey of 28 tall by 10 wide slick\'s on mine...not sure of the back spacing...i still have lot\'s of room ...i seen a s10 last week at the track with a set of 30in tall 10 wide and still had room left...i would guess that with the right back spacing you could go as big as a 33 tall by 11 wide ....not sure

What kinda of tire? Slick or street? What size rim?



If you roll the fenderlip, you should be able to fit a 3XX/50/15. I don\'t know if they make the 305/50\'s anymore. I don\'t think you\'ll tuck a 325/50.



Your gonna need a 10\" wide rim. Around a 5.25-5.5\" bs.

15X10\" rim, street tire that will hook up (and pretty available). Does anyone know what backspacing for a 10\" wide rim?

how do i measure the backspacing i will need so that i will just know how to do it

Lay a flat edge across rear of wheel (just the wheel, not the tire that is wider) and measure distance from rim edge to flat where you have the wheel lug holes...that\'s your backspacing.

i thought 4.5\" is the most you could go... obviously i heard wrong.

I just bought a set of 15 x10 draglites w/5.5\" bs. The rims fit, and just barely tuck. Theres 1 1/8\" between the frame and the rim.



My bfg 275/50/15\" drag radials are doing on there. According to my math, they should fit. We\'ll see after they are mounted.



As soon as I have a rear end to hold them, Im gonna try and run a set of 26x11.5\" MT ET streets. I don\'t think you can go much wider than that without having them stick out a bunch.

i have 10 inch rims in back with about 4 - 5 inches of back spacing. never really measured it. 255/60/15\'s with 9 inches of tread and 3.5 inches between tire and frame. they dont stick out to far and dont look to bad either! i would like to drop the rear about two inches, then it would look pretty wicked. IMO!

my tires measure an actual 26\"tall by 12\"wide with 3 1/2\" backspacing, theyre kelly superchargers and they stick out a little but dont look too bad

Why\'d you go so wide of a rim with such a little tire? Those will easly fit on a 8\" rim, probably a 7\' rim, and tuck doing so.

i ran a set on worn out 33x 12.50 for a while for better gass millege

no no no.....i have a 10\'\' wide draglite with a 295/55/15 with a 5-1/2\'\' back spacing....and it is really close....truck is low, and will sometimes rub on the inner fender where the bed is..it would be perfect with a 5-1/4 backspacing....
