60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 
Hey guys, how about posting some pictures of your tire/wheel combinations. I'm trying to decide what to run on the 63 and I need some inspiration. Be sure to list sizes, offset, etc...

Chrome 15X8 with baby moons (Crager). 1/4" wafer spacers to clear disc brakes front and rear. 235/75R15 Michelin LTX. Stock stance.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 
255/45-18 all the way around without touching a thing (well inside rear wells are pinched at the top)... The tires are rated for 180 mph..lol.. but they were the most reasonable I could find... 18" is the odd duck in wheels and tires it seems.

American Racing Torqlite wheels. I don't remember if they are 18 x 7 or 8... I think 7...

This is an old pic... but wheels and tires are same...

I second John..

These are my two choices for the truck I am building for my wife.. I figured whatever I came across first for a decent price I would go with although I have now passed on a few sets of rallys so it appears I am looking for the slots.. Problem where I am is unless I buy something new all the slots I see up my way are 16.5's or 14's.. Very few 15's pop up forsale. If I had both as you I would keep them both and swop them based on my mood that month :)

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 
My only problem is that if I decide on the slots, I`ll have step down to a 7 inch in the front for the disc brake widens the track by 3/4 inch each side which will put it into the fender.

jgh64pkup 01-23-2010 02:23 AM

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 
i say go with the slots
whats wrong with the 7 in wheel on the front?

darkhorse970 01-23-2010 05:07 AM

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
 
I like them both, but would keep the slots if I coulld only have one. I'm polishing on a set for mine right now!

I think my wheels are boring. The only real problem I think is they need to be a differnt color. I was either going to go with an off white or black. I think black without hub caps would look better.
