Hello folks,
Truck is a late 1946 ½-ton pickup. VIN 6DPC8###. Stock suspension and drum brakes.
After investigating having tires put on the two-piece lock ring wheels, I am considering getting these Wheel Vintiques 15x6 smoothie rims to have the new 215/75r15 tires mounted.
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wvi-12-5606358#overviewCan anyone tell me if these will fit without interference? They list the backspacing as 3.625 inches. I have read that there is not much room to clear the tie rod and/or drag link up front.
Unfortunately, I am a 14-hour drive away from the truck, so I am not easily able to just take some measurements to verify the fit. I tried asking the tech support for Wheel Vintiques, but they did not know if the wheel was compatible.
Anyone knowing the allowed backspacing or running a similar setup, your input is welcome and appreciated!
Many thanks!
