Anyone have pics of 325/50-15s on the back - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kelsfine69 · 09-21-2007, 11:47 PM

Im going from a 295/50-15 to a 325/50/15 and was wondering what they looked like. Thanks

Bob Moore · 09-22-2007, 06:38 PM

I have a pair of 315/50R15s on the rear. Mounted on 7 inch rallies. Sure wish they were at least 8's. I have no bed mounted so pics won't do much. It is very easy to take measurements however.

What brand are yours? Mine are "Big O" brand. Don't know if they are available or not. I got them at the junk yard for $10 each mounted on the rallies.

Mine are 12 wide, tread 10, height 31 1/2. Yours?

kelsfine69 · 09-23-2007, 11:53 AM

Im putting the Mickey Thompsons on. there about 28 X 13.50R15 on a 12 inch ralley

djracer · 09-23-2007, 12:16 PM

I use to run the 28x12.5 mickeys on my old 71 street truck. it was a wheel well full.

kelsfine69 · 09-23-2007, 11:58 PM

Any rubbing problems?

djracer · 09-24-2007, 07:53 AM

on a hard turn they would barely rub the stock inner fender!

kelsfine69 · 09-24-2007, 10:17 PM

I got lots of offset on my custom ralleys. I have 295s now with no rubbing issues. 325s are just taller right?

No they are not just taller......

295 is 295 mms wide and 325 would be 325 mms wide, therefore the new tires are 30mm or 3 cms wider.

They will be taller because the aspect ratio , the 50, stays the same. The 50 refers to the sidewall height in percent compared to the width. So the new tires are wider and taller.

By the way, I would love to get together some time and see your truck. I send 4 -6 weeks each summer about 15 mins SE of Leduc. I met Tim this summer and he was talking about getting a ride in your truck........

kelsfine69 · 10-03-2007, 11:20 PM

And he had nothing but bad things to say I bet

.

Sure man sounds like fun, Tim and I should be hooking up for a BBQ soon...

Oh and heres a ladder bar pic, only one i could find.

Tim said something about kinda slow, his truck was faster! Then again maybe you should confirm that with him..........

bad 71 chevy · 09-24-2007, 10:24 PM

i would really like to see what a 325 look like on our trucks i have a 295 and it looks good but never thought about going bigger what is the widest you can run with out tubbing the rear

70c10 · 09-24-2007, 10:41 PM

A board member in Texas with a big block, orange and white longbed posted pics awhile back of 325/50 or 325/60/15's (can't remember his name). Tires were E.T. streets.

kelsfine69 · 09-25-2007, 09:44 PM

There it is

. I was close considering this was posted 6 months ago

kelsfine69 · 09-30-2007, 11:02 PM

Ok got my new tires today. should get them mounted some time this week heres some pics

djracer · 09-30-2007, 11:32 PM

Sweet can't wait to see them mounted!

70c10 · 10-01-2007, 07:20 AM

Is your rear rim a 10" rim?. They look good!

kelsfine69 · 10-01-2007, 08:43 AM

Rim Has a extra 3" added to it

**Tom Vogel** · 10-01-2007, 10:36 AM

I have the 325 BF drag radials on my 2wd jimmy, got about 1/2" clearance on the fenderwells.

70c10 · 10-01-2007, 10:45 AM

Tom- any mods necessary?. What size rim?

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 10-01-2007, 11:13 AM

I like BF. Radial T/A's and was running P305 - 50 X 15's. Time to replace the backs and they are not made anymore! (could be just in Canada don't know.) So I ended up with BF.T/A's - P295 50 X 15's and I must say I'm very happy. In the width I lost 10 mil or about 1/2 inch over all not even enough to notice. A P325 50 X 15 will increase your width by 30 mil which will be around 2' to 2.5' inches which I think will create a rubbing problem in the stock wheel well. (IMHO)

esll.

kelsfine69 · 10-03-2007, 12:01 AM

Well I got them on, still have a good inch of clearance on the inside. And they hook really good too

corn · 10-03-2007, 12:10 AM

Sorry to hijack but do you have any close up pics of you ladder bars? Did you make them or are they Lakewoods?...
