I run a 15x10 on a stock rear end, with a back spacing of 3 3/4, this places it dead center of the wheel well of my truck, You may want to check your frist to make sure that back spacing will work for you

You can see I run 15 x 10 in my photos.









Hope this helps, backspacing is very very important on these trucks

Just make sure about the back spacing, I only have 1/16 inch of clearance on the inside of the tire and about 1/4 to the flare of the sheet metal

I run 15x10 32 rear, 15x10 30 steer w/out any spacing on American Racing rims similar to those pictured, 1969 F-100, Plenty of room.
