I just tried a 4 inch backspace on a 10 inch rim and 295 tyre and it does not fit.

I doubt you'll get a 295 under the guards,but maybe a 265 on a 10(but 9 would be better)and the 265s look good on a 10inch rim.
Try a 6inch backspace(6inchs in from flange,4inchs out from flange) with a 265,I reckon that will come close to fitting!!!

I just took the wheel off and did some measurements and at this point in time it looks like it could fit a 10 inch rim with 4.5 inch backset and whilst lowered the wheel fits into the arch and leaves about an inch from the leaf springs "theoretically"

You could make up a little jig out of some scrap timber to measure exactly what can fit under your guards.
Get a peice of wood approx 100mm X 20mm(old fence paling) and cut it about 20mm less than the tyre diameter,then drill some holes in it so you ca

The biggest tyre you'll fit under the guards is 28" tall and 10" wide. That's using stock offset rims ie XB-EL. 10" wide is around a 275 wide tyre. Note: It could be 10.5" wide? I don't have easy enough access to go and read the sidewall of my tyres. Edited by user Friday, 19 December 2008 7:20:05 AM(UTC)
