tire check
 
1980 Stepside... Stock ride height, and it's going to stay that way! :)

15x8 rally wheels

Looking at either 265/75/15 or 31x10.5x15 tires (basically the same size) on all four corners.

Any concerns about rubbing or hitting?

Any favorite brand and model? Online I have looked at BF Goodrich TA's and Goodyear Wranglers...

255/70/15 is a good stock height size but wider available in BFG Radial T/A for a street truck look, if you want an all terrain check out the new BFG Rugged Terrain in 265/70/15 or 31", those are the tires and sizes I'm contemplating for my stock 1976 restoration on 15x8's

These are the only pics I have. Rear end isn't in it, tires just sitting there. No beauty rings or caps on yet either...

Hope to have truck on the road in a week or so...
