15x10 Backspacing????

[dc26132]

I am looking at putting 15X10 rally wheels on the rear of my 87' short bed. I currently have a 2/4 drop & don't plan on going lower any time soon but maybe later down the road. Should I go with 4.5" or 5" backspacing on the rear wheels? I am going to run 15X8's on the front. Please post any pics if you currently have this set up.

If your going to go lower than 4in you need a 5in bs.

I ordered the 5" BS. Thanks for the pics! Clean truck.

15x10, 4.5 back space, 285/70/15 BFG tire, flip kit plus 2 inch shackles. Had to get creative with the fender lips. If I had to do it again I would do 4.75 back space to help a little.

Fronts are 15x7 with 3.5 back space and a 235/70/15 BFG tire. I guess I'm old school with the 15's, I just don't get the whole big diameter wheel thing.

J Knight, how low is your truck in these pics? What size tires are you running? Would there be a noticeable difference in 4.5" and 5" backpacking.
