Wheel Size

What is the widest 15 inch diameter wheel you can run on the front of a 68 C-10 with stock suspension ?

Is a 8 - 9 inch too wide for turning ?

I believe 15x7 were stock from the factory so I am hoping a 15x8 will fit as well.

Re: Wheel Size

15x8 wheels fit fine. 15x10's will fit good until you lower the front more than 4 inches.

Here's mine with 15x8 all around with 275/60/15 rear, 255/60/15 steer and 3.5/5 drop.

Re: Wheel Size

most stock wheels were 15 X5.5 or 6"wide// i've always liked 7 or 8inch wide wheels in front
