wheel and tire fitting

anyone?

Are you at stock height, or lifted?

stock height, 98 pre runner

with the wheels as wide as the tires, its gonna look a little block-ish or low profile...

should work though...

what kind of wheels?

Might run into stetching issues with your 10.5 tires.

I had 31x10.5x15's wrapped around 8" wide MT Classic II's with 3-5/16" backspacing. All on stock height. And I was rubbing at full crank and minor suspension compression. Pinch Weld mod helped alot, but I was still scuffing a bit. that was with DC Mud Countrys too....if that makes a difference.

Why the desire for 10 wide? I don't see the attraction...

I would just like to have my tires stick out a little bit without having to use spacers. Give it a little wider stance.

You're looking for a negative offset then. Try to find a rim thats got a fabricated offset. Otherwise, I think spacers would be your other best bet. You'll be much less likely to rub with a 8" compared to a 10" wide. And depending on your truck use...they arn't too hard on riggin'. Besides some longer wheel studs, they're effortless to install, and gental on the wallet too.

Hmmm would I just be better of getting a skinnier wheel?

That'd be my solution....but I'm just one opinion. It'd be nice to have a second....anyone else wanna pipe up??:meemee:

i understand you want a wider look for your wheels but you don't wanna go 10" wide on a stock suspended truck. 9" is plenty wide enough for you and a 4.5" backspacing on the wheels will look really good and shouldn't rub as long as you don't go too big with the tire.:waytogo:
