yet another tire ?

33x15.5x15 mud tires. how much backspacing do i need on my 78 f150 4x4 to stuff them under it. my 33x10.5x15s seem to rub on sharp turns so i figured id need to get different wheels for that wide of a tire

I would think you could run any kind you want. I run 2.75 just because if i dont i wont clear the brakes because mines an f250. I had to trim the fenders a tad for when i turn to the right my left side tire would hit because they stick out. I wouldnt go 2.75 though with a 15.5 wide tire. That will be way out there.
