I'm looking at a set of aluminum slotted mags for my truck. They're 15” in diameter, 8 ½” wide between the beads, a 5 on 5” bolt pattern, and a center hole diameter of just under 3” with a backspacing of about 3.5" . I'm concerned that they'll be too wide and cause the rear tires to rub on my stepside wheelwells. I'm planning on 255/60R15s in the front, and 275/60R15 or 295/(55 or 60)R15 in the rear. I wanted to ask on the 67-72chevytrucks site also, but it seems to be down right now. Anybody else have a stepside and the same tire and rim widths and backspacing? I appreciate any help.

The sizes you spoke about should work with the exception of the 295's. I have a 300 Series tire under mine, but i'm narrowed and tubbed also. Just remember, you must have a minimum of 1 inch between the inner fender wall and the tire, also 1 inch clearnence between the outside inner fender and the tire as well. This is for Suspension Travel and Sway. If its a daily driver, I would not Tub it out or put the 295s on it. Just not practicle, but sure does look good.
