Default '61 Fullsize

17x8 with 5" backspace Torq Thrust II
245/45/17 BFG KDW

all 4 wheel / tires are the same, although if i did it again, i would shrink the fronts to 235 & more backspace (tuck in tire as much as possible before it starts polishing the sway bar). i would do this because the scrub radius with wide tires created a tramlining problem (tires nibble at ruts & cracks), although my scrub radius is already out 5/8" further than stock because of disk brakes.

back fits really great, can fit some chubby fingers between tires & frame or tires & fender lip. i wouldn't try and fit any wider without frame mods or fender roll.
