thanks for the info! are you using any spacers? how close is tire to inner wheel well?

I run the 30/9 hoosier radial on a 8 inch wheel I think it is a 4.5 back space but not positive. The hoosiers have a little narrower than most other brands.

I have a 1/4" spacer on each side, and yes it's a tight fit. :D
