backspacing help

Im looking at running 295/50-15 on my truck on all 4 corners on 10 inch rims. Im wondering how much backspacing im goin to need for the front so the tires wont rub on anything. My truck is an 86 f150 2wd.

thanks

People trying to dump their gas guzzlers with the gas going up. Chevy guys don't know how to tune one, so they either buy a new truck, a new crate motor, or just drive them out of tune

that is an odd size i guess. is your truck stock? best bet would be to get some spacers and spend a little bit of time and check both sides. For some reason i want to say that the older factory ford wheels had a different offset for the driver and passenger side front wheels.

Ya my truck is stock but im gunna be gettin the body work done on it so it looks really nice and some motor work. Im looking to run these wide tires to make the truck look better and give it a better stance. I know it wont matter on the back but i was thinkin of puttin these on the front too.
