Im going to be taking a 3 hour roadtrip to trade my 35 12.5 at's for some 39.5 15 swampers. im definitely making out good in the deal as far as the tire conditions are going....but im just curious on one thing.

the rims im running 15x10 with 4.25 backspacing should fit 15 inch wide tires....i know i have to trim, but should i be worried the new wider tire is going to rub inside the fenders on the way home? otherwise i guess i should bring the sawzall and pull over and cut when i hear noise....hehe

anyone else running 15 inch wide tires on d60 with 4.56 gears, problems i should expect?
 
if your running 5' of lift your fine, just dont go wheeling on the way back or youll rub for sure
 
Opps!!! Just read the rest of your profile. I think you'll be ok, close but ok. Don't it a speed bump to fast:crazy: :haha:
 
im thinkin also of how far the tires would stick out of the sides....does anyone have any pics of the front of their rig with 15' inch wide tires???

No not with 15's, you run the dullie hubs because they have like an 8 inch back space, otherwise you'll be all up in you stuff:crazy:
 
Wait.... maybe I should read my post before I post it. You need the dullie hubs because the H1's have eight inches of back space. Sorry:doah:
 
39.5's on 15 x 10's with 3.75" of backspace. 7" total lift.
