tire and wheel fit

[sam z]

Guys, the text below is from a local add. I've always been
interested in Weld drag lites. Will this set up fit?

set of 4 Weld Draglights with new good year eagle gt 2s
front-235/60/R15----- 8" wide rim
rear -275/60/R15------10" wide rim
rims are a 5 lug pattern that will fit gm or mopar
wheels are in great shape
tiers have 50 mi on them
new in box center caps
approximately a 3" off set

Guy wants 450. Figure if I got them somebody would be
interested in taking (purchasing) my cragars to offset.

Thoughts? Will they fit?

You need to better define "3" offset"...is that is the backspacing? If so then there's no way, no how... 10" rims on the rear of a '69 RR will require perfect fitment. I have 275/60/15" rears on 8" rims with 4.5" backspacing...it looks to me that 10" rears might be possible with the same size tires and 5.5" backspacing...but it's only a guess... Maybe somebody has pulled this off previously and will chime in...or can tell you definitively that it can't happen...

what Acme said. I've got 275s on 8" rims on the back of mine too.
and I'll gladly "take" your Cragars....

rays right...you better check that back space before you buy them....may not fit

From the looks of it this may not be worth the aggravation. Thanks
guys. Price does look good however.

I have run 15x10s on a couple of Runners over the years and Ray is correct as usual with the 5.5 backspace. I have run as big as 295/50/15 on a car with just the lip rolled. If the car is a little high then you can fit a N-50 325/50/15 but it rubs. Looks bitchen though.

yeah, but the look is all that matters....till the tire wears thru and goes BOOM!
when I got mine, it only has four leaves on each side, so we thru nother full leave, and another half. sits nice in the back now. and best of all no air shocks to wory about.

I have 275 60 15s on my Runner, 8" centerline rims with 5.5 backspace. I originally bought 4" backspace but the tire was WAY too close to the wheel opening, so I sold those rims at a loss and bought the 5.5s. I have superstock leafs if that helps.
