Added these old Keystones while I get my other set sorted.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

I am running American Racing Salt Flats. 20x12 in the rear and 20x8 in the front on this one.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Stock ones on this old cream puff. Thinking of changing it to 22" transports with stock style chrome caps.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Beautiful truck! Can you share more details of the wheels? 5 or 6 lug, do they have the hubcap lugs or screw in clips and who makes them?

Thanks

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Thanks for the kind words! The truck has a 5 lug conversion. ( 5 on 5 ) 15x6 front, 15x7 rear. 235/75 x 4. Stock GM wheels with nubs for hubcaps. Factory Hubcaps that were rechromed. Nothing fancy.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

jac70ss You have an absolutely gorgeous truck. Any chance you would be willing to give out the information on what you did to get it to that ride height. I have a very nice stock short bed fleet side big window cab truck with the stock suspension. I have been thinking about bringing her down a bit. Thanks in advance

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

No problem. As stated earlier, it is a 5 lug conversion. 2.5 drop spindle with one coil cut out of old front springs, frt sway bar out of a later 70's model truck. The rear has a 5 inch drop spring, 1 inch lowering block, relocated spring perches and adjustable sway bar. (I may lower the rear one more inch).

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

What’s the specs on those? Rim size and tire size? They look good on your truck.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Also lots of good information on the many pages of the static drop thread.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

18 inch rims. The front tire is a 235 50 18. The rear is 255 55 18.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Thank you, I’m in the process of getting tires for my new 18 inch wheels, and needed a reference. I like what you’ve done with your truck, it’s looking good!

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Thanks, The truck is going up for sale.

The two slots are 15x7 Western Wheel. Once I find another pair of the slots, I'll run those, but finding two more is my problem.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Just installed today! 275/55-17 tires on a 17x9" wheel with 4.75" back space. The truck is dropped 4.25" in front and 6" in the rear. I was surprised to see how well everything fit. No rubbing issues so far with good (adequate) clearances. I'll post if I have a problem with rubbing while turning AND hitting a bump. But so far so good.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Cris - nice job maxing out the wheel/tire fitment. Looks great...respect!

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

What color green is that? I like it i was going for something like that but maybe a few shads lighter.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

mfm3, thanks for the props. I was pleasantly surprised at how well these tires squeezed in there.

rvfoot, I believe that is Glenwood Green. The truck was painted by a PO, but that color matches the firewall color (unpainted) very closely. As you suggested, it is maybe a tad darker.

What is the width and tire size?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Do you know your backspace or offset?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Too big?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

:lol:

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

I think the left side tires need a little air.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

20 rear, 18 front. truck under construction..

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Same wheels as before, but found a set of center caps and trim rings

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

I have 6 inches to my inner fenders. If I figure 1/2" for the lip of the rim and 1" for tire clearance I would need a 4 1/2" backspacing. Im looking for a 9.5 or 10 inch rear wheel. All the backspacing is 5.5 or above. What are you guys doing with the 10 inch wheels? Spacers?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

I did custom 4.5" backspacing for my 10" wide wheel as there are not many off the shelf wheels that come in 4.5" BS.

It will be very close to the inside fender lip, I did some trimming there just get a bit more clearance. 9.5" wide wheel would work well.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Even with a 9.5" wheel I am going to have to buy a wheel with 4.5" of back spacing or use 1" spacers in the rear.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 

Yes, I was not trying to imply you would not. As I was saying a 9.5" wheel will give a bit more room from the fender lip over the 10" wide wheel where it was pretty close (for me) with my 4.5" BS 10" wheel.
