Tire size and fit
 
I'm nearing completion of my truck and brainstorming some money saving ideas for now.

I have a set of stock rallys and was wondering if a set of 28x10.50-15 ET streets will fit well on the wheel and tuck into the wheel well? My truck is lowered, so they need to tuck. (oh, this is a 72 5 lug rearend on a fleetside)

Eventually I'll get some wider wheels and tires, but for now this might have to work.

I have some installed on my 71 mounted on 15x8 rally wheels. They fit fine I will get some pics this afternoon and post them. Mine is only lowered 4.5" in the rear and have no fitment issues.

awesome shots

How's the traction with those? What kind of HP are you making, and what kind of 60' times are you pulling.

Traction was great but the old motor was a very mild 350 with around 300 to 320 horsepower. We will see how the traction is with the new motor. I am in the process of installing a big block as we speak it should be around 500 horsepower.

60' 2.10
