a 15 x 12 w/7" bs will be haning out the quarters all ghetto like. unless you narrow the rear end.

most run a 15 x 10wide rim with 7.5" backspacing. if you want to get a real wide tire on there without it sticking out the quarters....either bogart or holeshot (cant remember which) makes a 7.875" bs rim thats 10" wide. that would move the rim in another 3/8" and tuck the tires under the quarters. if that is done...this would take EXTENSIVE heating and hammering on the insides of the wheel wells to clear the tire.

but the most typical is a 10" rim with a 10.5" tire of some sort...fits without much issues.
