How much you have room front and back tire to fender?
Are you roll the fender?
Is back 4,5 or 4 bs possible, without any rub?

How about front,
3" bs without any rub?

Thanks.

on the rear tires i have 1/4" between the tire and the frame rail, and the rear rims have a 5" backspace. i have not rolled the fenders either.
the front rims have a 4" backspace and don't rub either, i have a good amount of room on the front wheels also.

is it possible to squeeze a 15x10 with 5" or 5-1/2" of back spacing back there with stock ride height?
