10b front, 14bff rear....steelies?

[socal chevy]

I have my stock 10b in front and am installing a 14bff in the rear with disc brakes.... Will I have any clearance problems with 15's? If so... where? What backspacing should i get?... What width wheel?

I'm running a D44/14ff with 15 x 8's with 2.75 BS and rear discs, no caliper grinding for me

Narrower wheels will take less grinding. Less BS will take less grinding. I am running 15x8" steelies with 4" of BS. I had to grind a fair amount to get it to clear. Nothing I am worried about safety wise just it took awhile.

Back Spacing can be your friend and your enemy. It will take less grinding to clear the brakes but it will also add extra strain to the ball joints. It will also make your truck wider which may be a positive or a negative depending on your wheeling environment.

If you offroad hard with 2.75" BS rims on a 10 bolt front you will be playing the balljoint game alot. Friends of mine that run that setup can go threw ball joints in as little as 2-3 months depending on the amount of wheeling they get in.

I have run 4" BS with my 10 bolt front for 1 year of hard wheeling and my balljoints are still tight.

If you don't wheel hard or don't mind the balljoint game then 2.75" BS might be ok for you.

My truck runs 15x8" rims with 4.125" BS. They are white steel wagon wheels painted black. There are numerous pics in my webshots linked below. I run a 14bff rear and 10 bolt front.
