15 inch tire and wheel combos only - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 04-09-2016, 11:10 AM

So I was looking at an old thread and was thinking Id love to see some more pics of our trucks like this. I personally prefer a more "traditional" look to our rides. I know the hobby has moved away from that, but if you have 15 inch rims please post up ... Rim size, tire size, and drop (if you have one).

Here is the old thread I found ... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=350830&page=2

Please keep it to 15 inch ... No "Here are my 17's they are just a little bigger"

Here's mine, fronts are 235/60/15 and back is 255/60/15. I bought it like this but I'm not sure I like the tire size, they aren't tall enough. Kinda looks like PO wanted it lower but didn't want to actually lower it lol

Soco10. You just don't see red line tires anymore. I had some on my first car. Goodyear redlines, F70/14 off a 69 Road Runner. Cool.

Bump

Ekliptix · 04-09-2016, 03:37 PM

15" rallys, I assume 8" wide. 275/60/15 all around. Drop is ECE 4.5/6.25. Front tire rubs sometimes over bumps so I'd go with 255's up front next time.

Here you go...

The blue Super is 32x11.5 on 15" rallies at stock height. Looking to swap to steelies soon.

The orange one was 33x10.5 BFG's on 15" rallies with a 2.5" lift. No idea what it is now, haven't seen it since I sold it last year. Hopefully it's still on the road.

rocknss · 04-09-2016, 05:05 PM

Here's my 1969 Suburban lowered 3.5 inches front and 2 inches rear with P235/70 all around. I plan on adding one inch lowering blocks in back to even it out a little more.

I needed new rims when I switched from six lug to five and adding disc brakes!!
Don't worry, the body will get done.
