Title: Need advice
Post by: BiggG74 on January 07, 2017, 05:11:46 pm

Have a question, and sure it's been asked before.  But I have a 76 GMC 1/2 ton 2WD with 15 inch rims. It's stock for now. They have developed a leak and so I want to order a set of steel rims. My question is this.  How wide can I go without having issues of tire rub on the inside of fenders? Thanks in advance.

You have to consider width, offset, backspacing to get the correct answer but typically 8.5" up front and 10" wide in the rear

Try this https://www.customwheeloffset.com/tire-wheel-backspacing-offset-calculators
