Default 15x10 wheels

Does anyone know if a steel 15x10 wheel will fit over the rear drum brakes on the gmt900 trucks, I cant find any wheels to measure or try on my truck, I want to run them for my slicks. Anyone have experience?

Thanks

Its like to know to, but there is a guy on here that has 15 or 16s all the way around and had to sand down the front cailper. Said that was with drop spindles also, even tho my 17s barley clear the ball joint

I think it depends on the wheel and backspacing, I've never tried it yet

Great, the wheels I was looking at are 4" backspacing so that should be about the same as the old rallies like on your truck. Thanks!!

Can you take a close-up pic of your rally wheel?
