Hey Bigtruck. Question. We have talked before but I have a question for you. I have a 97 f150 and it is about the same set up you have. I have a superlift on mine. I am running 38x12.50. I want to run wider but cant because I only have about eight of an inch clearance between the back sidewall of the tire and the spindle. How did you fit those monster 15.50 on your truck cause it looks tight. My tires just look tall not wide. Thanks for you help.

16-10 rims with 4.5" backspacing, had to trim the front valance, and cut a peice from the lower controll arm and the e brake cable in the drivers side rear had to relocare the bracket, but other than that perfect fit, if you need to know more i got pics

I think I have the exact backspacing and can only fit 12.50's I hope to have some pictures up on here of my baby later today after I wash her cause it is suprisingly nice here in Indiana. The local tire shop suggested i get some reverse backspacing wheels

it is going to rub the spindle on the backside of the tire. It isn't about height. It clears fine. I do not have a quarter of an inch of clearance between the back of the tire and the superlift spindle. So anyhow, I have brand new tires so it will a while before i get wider ones. Anyhow, here are some pictures of her finally.
