Does anybody know what the widest section width of a tire you can run on 15x10 6 lug Racestars on stock rear end, stock suspension NBS truck?

I just bought some 325/50/15s, should be here later this week. Will let you know how they fit when I get them. Only difference is I have Caltracs, but that shouldn't affect anything. I hope.

My 275/60/17's on a stock, widened wheel (9.5in) is really close to the leafs. I'd say it's within an inch or so.

With the Racestars, I dunno. depends on backspacing I suppose.

Yeah let me know how much room you end up having. Which 325/50R15s are you going with?

I put them on last night and man...they look great.
I have about 1/2-5/8 of an inch of clearance between the tire and the leaf spring, should be enough, I hope.
I got the MT ET Street R 325/50/15.
