Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock Wheels

I am thinking about running Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock 15x8 wheels on my '71 C10. The problem is that the backspacing is only 3 5/8". On top of that the wheels are only offered in 5x5.5 or 5x4.5 lug pattern so I will have to run a 1.5" adapter. From what I have gathered on here that will put the wheels loser then normal to the outside of the fender. Will this rub with P235/75R15 tires?

Re: Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock Wheels

If they don't make a wheel for GM Trucks,then they suck! But,seriously? They don't make those in the most popular/common truck in the Universe's pattern? Did you talk to someone? I'd pass if they don't and,yes,they'll probably be too wide. I'd avoid adapters. There's just too many wheel made to fit to invite the possible headaches

According to Summit and mickey Thompson's chart only the 17x9 cand be ordered in 5x5. I will probably just find some other wheels since I would like to stay away from 17s.
