Guys,

I am interested in switching out my rally wheels and black wall tires for Cragar S/S Reverse (70's style) wheels and BF Goodrich T/A Radials on my 72 C10, so I would like your opinion of what size of wheels and tires would you recommend? Would you go bigger and wider in the rear or keep them all the same size?

Pictures would be great!

Thanks,

KellerMac

15 x 7 wheels up front, wrapped in 215 70 15 tires.
15 x 8 wheels in back, wrapped in 275 60 15 tires.

This is what I am running on my truck (with rallies) with a 5/7 drop, and it gives it a perfect rubber rake IMO. I think it would also look great with Cragars.

Anyone have info on 18's and 20'? The good the bad? I'm on the fence between both. What size rim and tire do you have? I want staggered.

Thank you!
