Stepside Tire Combo

[mikester]

Just joined the group guys and I have a question for you stepside owners. My buddy is building a 72. Hes owned the truck for close to 30 years. Hes at the point of shopping for tires and wheels.
He wants to use a steel wheel. I think he found a set made by Wheel Vintiques. Now hes trying to figure out tire size and wheel backspace. The suspension is bone stock so it sits kinda high. Hes thinking maybe 275-60 on an 8" rim.
What are you stepside guys running ? Remember, this is a stock suspension and he wont drop it at all.
I did a search but from what I see most trucks have been lowered. Believe me, if it was my truck it would be in the weeds. LOL
Anyone ? Pictures would be a huge help ! Thanks in advance !
