WHAT SIZE TIRES FOR MY STOCK 1984 2WD
« on: March 02, 2012, 03:17:42 pm »
Whats the widest size of tire I can go on my 1984 Silverado 2wd stock truck and not look ridiculous? ALSO What heigh should I go. I was originally told to go with P255/70L/15. Should I get lower profile tires for better control? Thanks!

Here's 31x10.50R15 tires on my stock height 77.  It had the HD springs.



This one is Front: 32x11.50R15   REAR 33x12.50R15.   The 33's rub a lot on the front, but the 32's never had a problem.
This truck had the Light Duty Springs.



As far as control, Unless you're gonna be burning up the winding roads, I'd just pick the size tire you like the looks of and call it a day.   I don't have any problems with my 275/70R18 Tires and I drive the crap out of my truck.  But I have the big swaybar and stiff springs.

Best thing for better control is to add a swaybar if it doesnt have one, or get a bigger swaybar if it does have one, or add a rear swaybar.

Thanks alot. I think im going to go with the 275/60/15s all around. It is just alot easier to tell what will look okay when you acutally see it on the truck !
