15s on 3/4 D44....

[broncoman6524]

Basically will it fit? I found a set of 37 IROKs radials for $600 almost new, I can get 15x12 steel wheels for $75 each through work.

I did some poking around (avery's 3/4 swap thread) And it said they will not fit with-out grinding and or less that 2.5 inches of backspacing.

My question would be where exaclty do they hit? If I got reverse mount wheels with 4.25" of backspacing I *should* be more than fine correct?

Thanks....

I'm running 15x12 with 2.75 backspacing and they clear only by a couple millimeters, but they do clear and I didn't have to grind on the calipers

Some say they dont some say they do. I'll let ya know when I get 15x8's with 3.75 BS. I'll probably be takin the grinder out.

I had a set of 8s w/4.25" b/s on a HD44 from a GM, had to grind, but wasn't too bad. Some on the caliper, some on the stand/bracket thingy.....

i have 15x10s with 4.25 bs, and i had to grind alot off went down to nothing on my brackets, so i got a different set of supports and bent them down and grinded the opening so the caliper would fit inbetween, instead of grinding them down to nothing.

what i did notice though is that the older axle caiper supports are more square than the newer style so that was probably my main problem with the first set.

4.25 bs is more less than 2.75 correct? Meaning that the 2.75 pushes the wheel farther off the hub?

 

[carpeonnel]

yeah, 2.75 will push your tire and wheel farther away from the hub. They'll hang outside the fender farther

are the dana 44 3/4 ton calipers like one ton calipers? ive never messed with them. i had to grind the dana 60 calipers with a 15inch wheel. i forgot what backspacing i got though

Check out this link. It will show exactly where I had to grind with 4.25" backspacing.
