Wheel/Tire Sizes

I am planning on running 15" wheels on my B&B. I want the authentic look, but do not want to narrow my SN95 rear end. This is the rear end that is 3/4" per side wider than a FOX rear. What size wheels and what offset should I run? I am also running the tubular front control arms. Also, what tire size should I go with? I am planning on going with BFG Radial T/As.

Looking at an old manual from B&B, it looks like they recomend 7" and 8" wheels, with 4.5" and 5.5" backspacing. I am thinking that I should be running 6" to 6.25" backspacing on the rears in this case. Anyone running wider rears? wider fronts?

15X8 Front with 5.5 backspacing
15X10 Rear with 6.25 backspacing

To use the 15X10 you would need 7 in backspacing

15 X 7 Team III with 4" back front
15 X 8 Team III with 5" back rear

I am assuming that you meant 15x9 with the 6.25 and 15x10 would need 7, am I right?

With the Team III wheels, are you running a standard FOX rear end or the SN95?

Or were u doing the conversion for me, saying I would need 15 x 10 w/ 7".

You would need 7 in. Backspacing with a 10 in. wheel.
I have a 9 in. ford which is 1 1/2 in. less in width than yours.

Okay, with 10" wheels, what tire size would you run? And for the fronts?

Rear 2.95/50X15
Front 2.45/60X15
