Default How wide for rear tires"

Hey guys;

How wide can you get rear tires inside a nnbs without tubbing or adding fender flares?

any pictures of wider rear tires on the nnbs trucks yet? I know Leftcoast32 did an amazing trailblazer with narrow front and wide rears, which I like a lot.

Thanks ZO6.0

Has anyone tried running with 12" or 13" wide rear wheels?

you could try measuring from the inside of your tire to the edge of the fender, thatll give you a good idea

I've got a 06 Silverado w/ stock rims and 295/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers 33.5"x11.5 (i think). When I had 1800 lbs in the bed the tires were rubbing the fenders on the inside. They don't stick out that much but I do have the Z71 fender flares. I'd still run them w/o the flares and they wouldn't look to "low rider"
