Default Obs with soft 8s

im looking to get some wheels for my truck shortly. I like the soft 8s. But not quite sure if they will fit. They only come with a 4" backspace on the 8" rim. My truck sits about 6/8 drop. With a 275/60/15 on it now. Anyone use these rims and they tuck in nice? Or am I out of luck with them

On an OBS, I doubt 4" backspacing will tuck. I had 4.5" backspaced 8" Telstars, and they stuck out a little too far for my tastes. I only had a 2/4 drop at the time. I'd bet you'd need 5"+ back spacing.

You can have a custom backspace soft 8 made. Give cragar a call.

Ended up running D windows. 15x8 5" backspace. And they sit perfect in the fenders
