Well, anyone need some great tires and dodge rims? It takes 3/4” to clear the springs. So at a minimum I would have to run 1 1/2” spacers and I still don’t know if chains would clear. It would be too close to try. The cost of steel spacers is ridiculous, let alone the shipping. It...
These OBS trucks have a narrow rear end. It’s a 14b FF but it was designed to be narrow. It doesn’t track the same as the front which is wider.
The rims and tires seemed to fit the front without interference. I don’t have the fenders on yet so I will need that before I know clearance...
I am going to monkey with it tonight to see how much backspace it will need added. I’m not liking the idea of them.
However, would seem any of the stock wheels with the bigger tires won’t clear chains so…
Hadn’t thought about that. The difference in backspacing is 14mm. So even with the stock rims I don’t think the chains I have would work. With the stock 245/75R16 they probably would but not with the 265’s or 33/10.50s.
Well crap! Friend wanted to buy my old rims and tires for her farm truck. I decided to take them off last night and test fit those dodge rims. Even though they look identical, the backspacing is different, and they don’t fit. The rear tire rubs the leaf springs.
I can sell them...
I switched over to Hornady after Sterlock dropped off my phone. So far it’s been working fine and seems easy to use.
7” is normal depending on the speed of the wind.
