    Can 15x10 fit on the rear or is the widest 15x8 with 5.5 backspacing and will 15x7 fit up front. I want to have the wide tire set up look but don't want the really skinny tire set up up front? What do you all think? I have the 4x4 fenders up front and back. I am not going to low and not going to bag it.

    My 87 truck has the flat sided jap bed and 2wd front fenders. I am running
    starion 16x9 - 0 offset wheels with 225/50 tires on the front. After removing the plastic inner liner, adding in a little negative camber and pulling the fender by hand, I dont have any problem with rubbing.
    The rear has starion 16x9 - 0 offset with 245/50 tires, rolled fenders and 2.5" lowering blocks. I dont have any rubbing problems there either. I have a pair of 16x8 -10 offset wheels that I will have widened to 10 inches ( adding 2 inches to the back side) for the rear and they might slighty rub the frame at times.

    With 4x4 fenders, you should be able to tuck 10" wide wheels easily with the right offset.
