Not stock wheels. Will I have clearance enough?.....As the truck is pretty much stock otherwise. Many Thanks..........  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 | Bout time to do some measuring.Check to see how much clearance you have now with the 205s.Then talk with your tire dealer ,he should be able to give you the measurements of the 205s and the 235s.On my 55 I am running 215s on the front and 235s on the rear.I had to get wheels with 5 inch back spacing for the rear,due to the wider tires.Wheels on front are 7 in.wide and 8 in.wide on the rear. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | don't forget on the back to allow for heat at speed and load expansion.

Those dimensions can vary by manufacturer. As long as you use the correct backspace wheels (3 1/2") you should be fine.
