Does anyone know if a 15x8 wheel with 4 1/2 inch backspace mounted on a 275/60/15 BFG T/A will fit in the rear of a 53 F100. If you are running something similar or have tried this set up let me know you results.

Thanks

My rear rims are 15 X 8-1/2 with 3.5 backspace. When I ran P275/50R15 tires, they stuck out from under the fender lip by about 1/2". Clearance to the bed was about 1-1/2". You may be able to see it in this pic: https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=52605&width=0

You might just have the perfect backspace for those tires, as they should fit just under the fender lip, however, clearance to the bed may be very tight. You could adjust that with some spacers, tho. Sounds like a good setup.
