Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Good advice. And ask for the make and model, too. I'd swear my 235/75x15 Hankooks are narrower at the tread than tires of that size from other brands. Or, I have tire envy. One of the two.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Yes. Different brands of 235/75R15 tires have wider/flatter tread than others

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Can someone help me out? I'm building this truck for my mother and I am stumped.

1966 SWB
AZ Pro Performance 14" big brake kit front and rear
Tubular upper and lower control arms and stock rear suspension type setup

3.5" static front/4.5" static in the rear.

With that Brake kit I need to run an 18" or 20" wheel and I'm fine with that.

Does anyone know what specs I need? Ideally I would love to run

20x8 or 20x9 fronts with around a 265/40 or 265/50 front and a 20x10 or 20x11 rear with a 295/40 or 305/40 or 315/35 if possible with the rear being the stock dimensions and stock wheel tubs.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

235/70/15 front 275/60/15 back 15x8 4" bs all around. I don't like how sucked in the rear wheel are so I'm planning on ordering a pair of custom rally's with 3.25 bs.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Can someone here help me understand something? I went with Toyo Proxes S/T II 255/40/20 Front and 295/40/20 rears.

-Wheels are cpp rider 695 20x8.5 F / 20x10 R

I thought the "40" number meant the tires would be the same sidewall size/overall diameter. I measured the tires and the rear tire seems to be an 1" - 1 1/4" taller than the front. Is this normal?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

The sidewall number is the percent of the width of the tread. In your case your sidewall is 40 percent of the 295 millimeters of the tread width.

Section Width - "205"
A metric tire's section width is measured in millimeters. This measurement is taken from sidewall to sidewall. In this example, the section width of the tire is 205mm.

Aspect Ratio - "65"
This number refers to the height of the sidewall. It is a percentage of the section width. In this example, 65 percent of the section width of 205mm equals 133.25.

Tire Construction - "R"
The "R" in this example indicates radial tire construction.

Wheel Diameter - "16"
This indicates the wheel diameter in inches.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

I was under the impression the "40" is the widewall dimension as a percentage of the total width of the tire, as in 40% of 295. Therefore a wider tire will have a different sidewall than a narrower tire.

That's what i've come to understand from research at least. Your wheels look very nice regardless

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

The "40" is 40 percent of the width, 255mm and 295mm. So your sidewalls will be approximately 102mm and 118mm, respectively.

Curious as to wheel and tire size also???

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Wheel and tire size please.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Well I got a deal on some 20's but they won't fit over the hub on the rear axle... Any ideas what I can do...

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

You'll have to pull the axles and have the hub registers machined down. But you will need to leave a little lip to hold the brake drum in place.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Yea that's what I thought the anwser was gonna b... Not doing that because I know I'll be replacing factory LSD unit because it has a broken clutch in one side...

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

The only other option is to have the wheel center hole machined out larger. That is assuming there is enough material there for that large of a hole. And then of course finding someone with a lathe or a mill big enough to handle a 20" wheel.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Does anyone know what lug pattern and backspace these would be?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Just curios, did you have to do anything body wise to get the 10's under there?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

The dude at the tire shop said it would be tight, but fine from stock ride height to 4-5" of static drop. However, I found that with air bags it drops far enough that I needed to trim the top of the inner wheel well by 1", so nothing too significant there. I am also considering widening the wheel tubs 1" just for piece of mind, but have not done that yet.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

What offset are those 20x10?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

I am pretty sure those have 5.5" of backspace.

22" transports. Weigh a ton though. There's a couple of vendors out there making same wheels but lighter. Still cheaper to go GM transports. I still have to paint mine, but like the look.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Looks awesome :metal:

I'm going for a similar look but with 20" Coys (eventually.......)
