Ok, thanks for the additional info.
On my '46 1.5 ton, I tried to run a more readily available wider tire/rim on the rear and the tires rubbed frame, I had to shim the tires out with a steel spacer I machined. That truck is mostly driven around the farm and on very short low speed trips. This truck I plan on using much more, so I want to make sure I get new & correct tires on it.
