They would be for my M&H Racemaster 30/14.0-16lt these tires do not buldge at all on the side wall but I want the rim under the truck instead of sticking out so far.

i dont think it will hit the rear spring as much as it would hit in the front spindel or when you turn it might hit the body. on my ss i am running 9.5" wide but they are 20" and clear the spindels and control arms.

Yeah Mwalls my 20s are 9''s on a 5.5 it looks like I can go in another inch I guess I should dig out my 16s and put 1 on and look harder the thing is I want to be ablolutly sure cause the wheels I want to buy are about $500 to my door they are custom made unless anyone knows where I can get a 16''x10'' wheel with 6.5'' backspace.

I bet you could as much as 7" of backspace. I've been thinking about what i could go with if mine won't hook up...thats what i came up with.

I am guessing these wheels are for the back since your looking for traction
