    Mark,
    On my 97, I'm using 275-60-15's all around on my 15X8's with no
problems. They fit and look great. However, I have the fender flares from
the 4X4 on my 4X2. Without them the tires would probably peek out about 1/2"
from stock fender well.

    What are you using to lower 1"/3"? Where did you get it and how much?

        Help,
        I'm buying a new set of wheels for my 99' Dakota Sport.
        1. I need to know the stock backspacing with the 15x7, 15x8 (what I
have), and the R/T 17x9 wheels.
        2. Has anyone run into tire clearance problems with bigger wheels?
I'm lowering the truck 1" front/3" rear.
        3. What is the minumum and maximum backspacing for the 16x8 wheels?

        Thanks
        Mark
