Im working on a project truck. It has a 6 suspension and 3 body. Got a new set of 38x12.50 tsl's. I want to run ralley wheels, but im unsure if they will clear. Anybody running ralleys with this setup?

Thanks

Unsure if they'll clear what??

Yes the tires will fit the rims fine (assuming they're all 15's like the ralleys). Yes, the tires should fit the truck fine as 9" is plenty of lift for 38's on a narrow wheel.

Clear as in does a rally have enough offset to run that wide of a tire without rubbing brakes steering arm and such.

A 12.50 tire isn't wide, you'll be fine.

The original setup on my rig was 6" lift with 3" body lift running 38x14.5x15. No issues there. 12.5 on stock rallies will not be an issue in 10 bolt axles. If a 14 bolt rear or Dana 60 front has been swapped in then you might have an issue with the rims clearing the brake calipers/drums.


As described above when I first got her.

Thanks...that's a pic of what I started with. Since then I've had to put my own touch on it. I changed or upgraded...well....everything except the 350TBI motor and the front 6" lift springs. Lol.
