Title: wheel question ?
Post by: lechez71 on January 17, 2012, 04:13:53 pm

hey guys i've seacrhed but cant find anyone running a 15x10 wheel with a 3.75 backspacing. will that fit my 82 c10 thats lowered 2/4? i have a chance to get some weld draglites for a good deal the fronts are 15x7 with a 4" bs and the rears are 15x10 with a 3.75 bs. im wanting them to tuck in the fenders. the tire sise should be around 28" or 29" tall.

you should be ok with those sizes.  The widest factory was 8" wide with 4" backspacing.  The rear is narrower than the front.

here a pic of the wheels the day i put them on. ive since then polished them and now they look like chrome. will get better pics when weather is better. just need to lower it a little more and get a shorter tire for the front.
