Yes up to 6-1/2" backspace. Anymore and you have to trim the thick ring around the inside edge of the drum.

6-1/2" to 6-3/4" but any tire with more than 13.50" section width will hit the leaf spring.

i would go with a 28x11.5 Hoosier they actually put 11.5" of tread on the ground and that 30" tire is gonna kill it on the launch. ive seen too many truck with big tall tires bogging out the hole and i told them and they run them anyways
