Tire Width

I read the sticky on tire fitment but I am still at a loss. I am looking at a set of weld wheels which dont really have any back spacing. They look like they fit pretty flush with the hub but stick out a little more to the outside. The rears are 10in wide, and the fronts are skinnies at 4in wide and clear the calipers. Will this work?

Re: Tire Width

You need the measurements to know what you are dealing with. But the rear wil not .fit at all, you need at least 5.5" of bs in the back

The wheels must have some backspacing. Do you mean they are zero offset?
