largest diameter wheel/tire combo for 69 laying body
does anybody know what is the largest diameter you can fit with a 69 laying rockers? wheel wells gone, and tubing firwall is not a prob.... My plans are to bag and z my frame in the future.. but for now I want to get my wheels first to tide me over till I can afford it.... Thinking of going 22's but debating 24's

Re: largest diameter wheel/tire combo for 69 laying body
Its just my opinion but I think 24s look too big on these trucks. 20s or 22s look good or even a 20/22 combo. You really need to be more concerned with overall tire diameter than the size of the wheel itself.

Re: largest diameter wheel/tire combo for 69 laying body
I'm not sure if you can lay body in the front with a 24'. You better be running an extremely small tire, or you will be to tall for the front fender. I plan on running 22's all the way around, that is already getting to be alot of work. Good Luck!

Re: largest diameter wheel/tire combo for 69 laying body
I'm speculating that a 30" tire would be just about it. I've got 27" tires and only have a small amount of sheetmetal left on the fender cutout.

Re: largest diameter wheel/tire combo for 69 laying body
If you're BD to the rocker a 24 will stick out above the bed. I'm using a 285/35-22 and it's about 3/4" from the top of the bed.

Re: largest diameter wheel/tire combo for 69 laying body
They make these 275/25/24 tires, thats a tad bit smaller than those 285/35/22...but that might be cutting it a little colse on the ol bend a rim crap...lol

Re: largest diameter wheel/tire combo for 69 laying body
i dont like the look of a truck sectioned or a truck that lays door.....it looks cool layed out, but up at driving height I dont like how the body looks......i like a nice stock looking truck body, just plain layed out
