If you're running stock, aftermarket, or any other kind of steel rim, toss up some pictures! Please try and note what kind of rim, tire and suspension setup you've got too!

I'll start

Hoping to strip and repaint the hub caps and rims, then toss on some new meats too. What is a good size for tires?

caminokid · 01-03-2009, 05:16 PM

Heres what I am using on my 69 fleet.

My 69 Stepper

Sinister · 01-03-2009, 05:18 PM

I think the rims are 16" x 8", but I could be mistaken on the width. Tires are 265/70R16. I actually had to hunt these down after selling the ones that were on the truck originally. Stock suspension.

brendonak · 01-03-2009, 05:34 PM

Nice trucks guys!

I'm loving the 16 inch rims, love to get a set of those in 6 lug!

nyncompute · 01-03-2009, 06:33 PM

I have the caps off currently, but here are the 15x8's

Mondo · 01-03-2009, 08:53 PM

Never miss a chance to post a pic or two (before and after paint/more mods)
Gold - truck rallies - all 15/8 with 4in back space (and 1 inch spacers on rear);275 & 255/60
Red - car rallies - front 15/8 with 4in BS & 255/60s - back 15/10 with 5in BS and 1in spacers (should of got 4in BS) & 275/60s

Where do you buy these either new or used. Iam looking for the original 6 lug steel wheels to put back on my truck. This is a great posts. I have wanted to put steel wheels back on but didn't know where to look for advice. This is pretty much the look I am after.

If im not mistaken those are Highlander wheel covers. They were also put on the Monte Carlo's too of the same year. They are not easy to come by so hold on to them. Is your truck a highlander? Does it say Special Promotional on the SPID (sticker inside the glove box if you don't already know)?

I bought those wheels on ebay for $80.00. They were in a odd ball category somewhere as I recall (not vintage truck parts etc). Anyway I recognized them to be what I wanted and when I got them home I had them powder coated. I've heard some say that military Blazers and trucks had these type wheels. I don't know for sure.

Thanks do you know what the dimensions are on the wheels and tires. This is the exact look tire size I want. My truck is not a 4x4 though. This looks clean.. I like it.

Those are s-10 caps( 80's aluminum ) not c-10 caps, check brendonak white 67 for the "stock" style caps.

Don't pay any mind to thr red thing in front of the truck.

Mine are Cragar Nomad 2's
Tires are Cooper Cobra GT's
Suspension is stock
Front 15x8 with 255/60/15
Rear 15x10 with 295/50/15

I was thinking about getting the same set for my 77' Chevy C10! Do the front wheels have 3 3/4 backspacing? Is the second pic the front wheel and how well did it fit?
