I'm putting 325 drag radials on my Maverick project. I can run either 15x10 or 15x12 rims, which would result in a narrower overall tire width? Even though it's mini-tubbed and the frame rails have been narrowed, the tire will be tight.

More backspacing will result in a narrower overall tire width.
i.e. If the backspacing of the 15X12 rims was 6" and the backspacing of the 15X10 rims was 3"; the overall width would be less using the 12" wide rims.

More backspacing will result in a narrower track width, not tire width. The 10" wheel will give you a slightly narrower tire width than the 12" wheel. Tread width will remain the same with either wheel.....

So, the consensus is that a narrow(er) rim will result in a narrow(er) tire cross section?
