Re: rally wheels and stance? ?

I have 15X8 with 4 3/4 back spacing on my rallye rims.. be careful whatever rim you get doesnt have any more than 4 3/4/ inches back spacing on front or it will lock up the tims to the tie rod ends and render the truck un moveable.

Re: rally wheels and stance? ?

I, too, have been trying to decide on the tires I wish to use.

I will be using stock 15 X 8 truck rally rims.

So far, all I could find was a limited run of the 275/60/15 BF Goodrich tires.
I will be using these on the rear.

On the front, I figured that the 245/60/15 BF Goodrich tire would be OK.

I recall backspacing being an issue in the past.

What is the biggest front tire useable on a stock 15 X 8 Truck Rally Rim?
