Last week I tried 15 x 10 cragars on the rear of tow van, they were advertised on ebay and fortunately the seller was 5 minutes from me, 295 wide, but when I got them home they looked ridiculously big compared to the front 14 x 7s, went off the idea when I couldn't get a tire in that size that has a load rating for the laden beddie and caravan, looked mean from the rear though but stuck out from the rear flares about 25 mm, I'll keep my eyes out for 15 x 9s, considering that I may need light tuck tires to carry the load of the beddie and the caravan .... any thoughts?   I also now have heavy duty springs on the rear and the van appears lifted at the rear so there is quite a big gap between the tire and the flare so a tall tire combo will suit, by the way I have a 9" diff which as we all know is shorter than standard however the 15 x 10s still exceed the standard width of the van ?

that's really weird to hear, we are running 15 x 10s 295 on the back with a 9 inch and put spacers to bring it to the edge of the flare! Same as our drag ways on on this van the green van and even rubman's van. They must be some custom deep deep dish you got there, and you should run 15 x 8 on the front then it looks pritty good  :)

Yep spot on Jas, but I did cut the rear flares back abit so probably the reason why the tires stick past them, my concern though is finding a 15 x 10 tire with a load rating to take the weight of a loaded beddie and 22 foot caravan, by the way the seller had four 15 x 7 cragars for sale as well ...... already got four 14 x 8 and two 14 x 7 cragars meself so didn't need the extra four wheels, shivers that would mean two 15 x 10, four 15 x 7, four 14 x8, two 14 x7  I'll need to modify the beddie into a road train to use all those wheels  ;D
