wheels and tires
« 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.

I've seen a lot of people that are running 15x10s put either 275/60/15s or 295/50/15s

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..

Nice Truck, I change tires like the seasons. I can't decide what looks best. I like the 255/70 option it looks solid. 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

Those 31.5's look pretty good. What size rims are those? Once I run into some more money I'll probably be getting some new tires and I was thinking of going a little bigger.

Currently BFG Radial T/A 275/60-15's all around on 8.5 in rims with 3.5 backspacing on a 5/5 drop. They're 28'" tires.
