'76 Long Bed 2WD C15
« on: July 31, 2015, 06:37:58 am »
15" Truck Rallye Wheels,,,,

Question:  What tire will FILL the wheel wells very nice without issue??

My ideas:  31x10.50x15s
                32x12.50x15s
                265/75-15s

Again,  '76 Long Bed C15 2 wheel drive

Thanks all!

The first 2 may pose a problem depending on the ride height in front.  I have 255/70's on my C10

I'm wanting to go with BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAINS for the 31s or 32s.

I just found this truck and its a 1 owner untouched original.
Looks like its a heavy half.(it looks like extra leafs(factory?)  & it does have small coils also(maybe added by orig. owner??)  It appears very stock for ride height.

The 31x10.50x15s are nearly the same as the 265/75-15s I believe.

PLEASE chime in everyone.

Thanks,,, but for me I either want all four tires the same size & REALLY fill up the wheel well OR

staggered sizes for a slight raked look but still fill the wells up.

Thanks!  ;D
