Hello everyone,

I have a painfully obvious noob question. I'd like to rock 33x12.50R15 tires on the stock lift for my 1979 K10. I'm not afraid to trim/massage my wheel wells to make them fit if need be, but I'd like the tires to stick in as close to stock BS as possible. I was looking at the MT classic 3 and the outlaw 2 knockoffs for rim selections. The tires are General Grabber A/T. I'd like to use a 15x8 aluminum wheel, and as close to stock BS as possible. Thanks!

The backspace you are looking for (stock) is right about 4 inches I do believe. Any more than that and you will run into clearance issues with the tie rod ends.

Don't know. But any aftermarket 6-lug wheel appropriate for these trucks is going to have a center bore that's large enough. It's the big blingy ones that have smaller center bores for modern trucks.
