how to achieve the stock look?

So im a long way from bagging my truck. It currently is at stock height on black painted steelies. Tires are mismatched 33in off road tires. Everything was done by the po. Since i cant bag it yet, what tire size should i go for to give it a more factory look. I was thinking of a whitewall on black steelies. Id like for it to not look like so much of a farm truck.

A 235/75/15 tire with a inch and a half white wall works for me for a stock look.

Re: how to achieve the stock look?

I've found that 215/75/15 tires are the closest to the pizza cutter G78-15 stock bias ply tires. Try to find some that have a square shape to the tread to match the look of the bias plys.

I know you said you didn't want the off road/farm look, but I put a set of Firestone 215/75/15 ATs on my truck and think they look great. The tread shape is squared off like the originals. Here's a thread with some pics with the new tires: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=553289

Good luck!
