I thought 9 inch rim was narrowest that a 325 50 15 can be mounted on. Do u have a picture? I am wondering because I also have 15x8 back rims and am interested in mt 325 50 15

I'm trying to fit 17"x8" bullitts with 45 mm offset, which turns out to be about 6.25 backspacing, with not much luck so far.

In the front, I have issues with wheel fitting the rotor hub, but hopefully after new rotors that will be solved. Once I get the fronts on, I'm hoping the wheel/tire doesn't hit any of the suspension/steering components.

In the back, I have issues with the wheel hitting both the inner fender well and the leaf spring. Considering that Duster's have narrower track in the rear than the front, I had already been wanting to upgrade to a B-Body axle to even things out. I'm hoping that will solve my wheel fitment issues.

Currently, I have the following:

Weld Racing Drag Lites

Front: 15" with 165R15
Rear: 15" with 11.5"x28" Mickey Thompson ET Street DOT Drag

The backspacing on those Welds are unknown to me at this time, since I have not measured them. Once I get my Bullitts mounted, they're up for sale.

Put spacers in front of the front hangers to move the rear back slightly. however those tires won't grow? How close are they?

Spacers in rear or offset shackles.

Spacers in rear or offset shackles.

I ended up selling the Bullitts. I figure I'll wait to I find the ones with the right offset, or I'll buy new with the right offset.

Update on my set up
got fronts 155x60Rx15 BF Goodrich 15x4's on hotshot rims
backs are255x 60'sx15 M/T's on 15x8's 4.5 BS steel rims
all have been powder coated black[/Q

did you have to do any rear end mods for rear wheels and tires to fit?
