Default 15x10's JayC, Jazzer, evryone come in

I'm about to pull the trigger on some 15x10 with a 5.5" bs. I know that optimal is 6.5"bs for these. I'm thinking they will stick past the fenders some but I measure (for front spacing) from the hub out towards the fender. I gave up with 5.5"

So I'm I'm figuring this right the wheel would have a 4.5" front space meaning they would be tucked about an 1 inch. This doesn't seem right, or is it?

Anyone tried that size wheel on a new edge?

325/50

I was thinking 2" more since it's 2" wider with the same bs, that's why I was thinking my calculations were wrong.

I would not run a 10" wheel with a 5.5" BS on a new edge

Moving the wheel outward 1/4", as in a 10.5" is not a problem, but don't see going an additional 3/4" without fender work. I suppose if you ran a 295/30 with a major case of fender rolling, you may clear.

damn that's what I figured. Jay do you think a 325 will fit without the use of a hammer?

325/50/15 will fit on a 15x10. That's what I run, no hammering required.

However, with the 5.5" BS I think it'll look pretty dumb. I'd just wait and get a set of 15x10's with 6.5" BS. Mine are perfectly flush with the edge of the fender and just fit, I can only imagine them sticking out another inch.

ok, I found a place that has some smoking prices on Welds, so it looks like I'm going with new.
