Default DR Fitment

Hey guys..

In a few days ill be reserving my MWC 9" rear with 4.11 gears in it, but the problem is that i don't know whats the biggest tire i could fit in there, the rear is 3" narrowed per side and the rims are 15x10 with a 4.5 back spacing, can some one help me this?, i did some searching and found out that you can fit 325/50-15 MT with no problem, but since my rear is no stock width, how big can i go?

Your 3" with 4.5" backspacing won't be anything different then if you were at stock length using a 7.5" backspacing.

They can fit but not without the typical wheelwell modifications.

Same setup I have in my car. The 325s are as big as you can fit in the factory wheel tubs, but it still requires rolling the outer fenders and beating the hell out of the inner fenders for them to fit.
