Wheel / Tire combo advice
Need some help seeing if these will fit. The stock wheels have 4.5 backspacing.
Thinking about buying these wheels for the rear: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pcw-1069-6185 (4.5 BS)
Along with these tires: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mtt-3763r/overview/
These for the fronts: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pc...6885/overview/ (4.0 BS)
With these tires: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mft-50102/overview/
Here's an album of the truck they're going on: https://imgur.com/a/FZcsZ. It's stock height. Has antique plates on it, so it wont be driven much at all (>1,000 miles a year per law). Won't have much of a load in the bed either.

Just saw the tires for the rear are 15's. Back to the drawing board.

235/70-15s on stock wheels in front with 275/60-15s on 15x8s in the rear look good and correct the visual anomaly of these rigs crabbing down the road due to the narrower rear track width.
Use the same principle if going with 16-inch wheels.

Can anyone confirm 4.5 backspacing for a 10 inch rim?

I have 4 1/8" backspacing on my rear 10" rim and would not go any more. I'd be hitting the fender. I also have enough trouble as it is replacing a wheel as I have to support the frame on stands to let the axle drop. Granted, I'm lowered a bit, but still.

Yes....8 on the front and 10 on the back. All with 4" back. Corrects track and it will tuck 275/60's in the rear.

I definitely agree. 4" backspacing front and back is what you want. My tires are 235/70/15 and 275/60/15 and they both tuck in really nicely.

Just called LMC truck to get their backspacing. The 10" rims they sell for our trucks have a 3.75 backspacing.
Guess I'm looking at 4 bs front and back. Thanks for your helps guys. I'll post them up once I get something on.

Watch the width on the rears, I'm running 285s on the back of mine with stock backspacing and it's tight. There is room for a 12" wide tire but much more and I'd be seriously concerned about tire damage.

Are you running a 4" BS on yours?
