From what I can gather you would have more choice with the 15's

So if you can get em, GET EM !

Who do i use to freight them over?
Anyone know freight companies or prices from Vic to SA?
My only concern then is trying to find 15x8's to match on the front

Also, i found in another thread the following

 I run a standard holden one tonner diff. with standard american racing 15x10 mags with 275 /60x15 tyres on my standard cfs bedford. The mags are standard holden hq offset ,i.e.3 3/4 inches.This gives about 1/2 inch clearance from the standard spring set up. Been this set up for 24 years with no scrape broblems at all.
   cheers  Brian

If i convert to a standard 1 tonner diff, these mags (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280546806029&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching#ht_500wt_1154) only have a 3 3/8 backspace and they're running 295's, not 275's
Basic maths tells me i'm gonna have problems.
Any thoughts?

BED767   brian here
that was my comment about the one tonner diff. As for the 295 tyres they would be close with that offset but it could just clear? You could fit 275's which are still around

dont know if this helps .....but i have run 295 x 15 tyres on my swb with no flares all i had to do was fold up the lip on the inner edge of the wheel arch (near the chassis) with no scrubbing issues sorry i cant remember the rim offset but i was running a salisbury with 10 inch 12 slotters     Cheers Neil

Thanks for all your help guys
I want to run 295's as long as i can find them, and if they become obsolete i'll just change to 275's on 10inch rims
Neil, thats re-assuring that 295's will fit thanks. I kinda want flares anyway so hopefully i can work something out
