Tire size
I have a 1969 C10 step side can anyone give me a little advise on tire size?
I wanting to mount 16 x 10 with 5 on 5 back space on the rear And 15 x 7 5 on 5 for the front what would be a good fitting tire to put on the front & rear wheels? tire is not one of my gifts thought maybe someone on the site would have ran into this problem any help would be great |

Re: Tire size
Why such an odd combo? The 16" tire for the rear will be an issue. 16" tires are a bit of an oddity these days.
We need to know if your truck is stock height or lowered(and how much) to help choose a tire diameter that looks right. Also, 5 on 5 is usually wording for the bolt pattern, not backspacing. Can you clear that up?

Using these tires would that stop the inside of the tire from rubbing? |

I'd run a 215/70/15 or 225/70/15. Any standard radial tire will be good for the front.

Re: Tire size
I'm guessing your going for the olé hot rod street car look. Wide tire in back skinny up front. If you already have the wheels you could get a .5" spacer for the back.

Re: Tire size
Spacers are pretty accessible, just hit a search for wheel spacers. Easiest way to tell what works is put your truck on jack stands, make it level. In other words don’t have one stand up 3 notches and the other 5. Get a 2’ level or close stick it on your drum like the wheel would be and measure from the face of the level to the inner frame or wheel well. Do the same to the outer or wheel lip. Give yourself at least an inch on both sides. Remember to take account for the section width of the tire you want.

Re: Tire size
Disc brakes or drums? Late model wider axle?
I have 17x9 with 5" bs on the rear of my 69 short step with a 275 55 17 tire. That is as wide as can go (maybe 285 but that's it) without any rubbing. I have a leaf spring truck dropped 7" with a DJM flip kit converted to 5 lug using a 71-72 axle. On the front it has 17x8 with 4.5" bs and a 235 55 17. Front is disc brake converted with ECE kit with 2 1/2" drop spindles and 2" drop sprints.

Re: Tire size
Your truck set nice that is the look I would like to have. I had these wheels made by Hot Shot I thought for sure I had all of my measurement correct I had 11.5 from the inside fender to inside fender I was under the impression I would have had 1.5" to keep the tire from rubbing it appears that I will need about a 1" spacer to make them work out

Re: Tire size
Mike C asked the important question I forgot about. Which rearend do you have? The 63-70 6 lug rearends are a different width than the 71-72 rearends. Or, do you possibly have a custom built rearend since you have a 4-link?
