Title: wheels and tires
Post by: bigred on August 23, 2006, 02:11:00 am: What tire and wheel combinations does everyone have on their truck? What total diameter does it give you? Right now on one of my trucks I have 255/70/15's which is listed to be about 29 inches in diameter (height measures a little less from the ground up to the top). I was thinking of using a 17 or 18 inch rim and putting something just a lil wider and taller. Not sure how tall and wide I need to go. Of course I don't want rubbing when I cut it deep or hit a bump. Here are some pics.

Post by: Leadfoot on August 23, 2006, 07:36:00 am: I'm running 8" rims on the front with 255/60-15's and 10" rims on the back with 325/50 drag radials,but the 9" rearend I'm using is 3" narrower than the 10 bolt was,so with 4 7/8 backspacing,it worked out great..

I tried out 3 options currently the 31 inch tires threw off my speedometer by 4 mph slow, the lower profile tires sent me 8mph fast and the 235's were the closest. Here's the pics:1977 chevy truck
