If you are going to lower it, I feel you will have to go with fatter tires like Heavymtl has, some high quality pics of his here:

(hope he doesn't mind me posting)

Well mine is completely stock bumper to bumper and rust free...But that is all going to change...

Did you ever have any luck finding 6 lug 62 series?

I love these pics of our trucks lowered on the STOCK original wheels. Hence, I'm not posting mine on later model rallys.

Here is mine with 15x8 and 31" tires front and rear. 3/4" drop with 1.5 bolt-on spacers in the rear.

Need some GMC caps to match the truck, but this is better than nothing right now.

stock steel wheels & caps, just not stock on my truck. 255/60/15 on 8" Rally.
4" spring + 1" block rear, 2.5" spindle -1 cut coil front.

Here's a updated one of mine although they are 8" 5 lug WV all around so they are not stock rims.

Do you have anymore pics of this truck? I have some 15X8's I need to get sandblasted and painted. Thinking of going 31X10.50's, so would love to see more of what it looks like.

Guys, I know this isn't a Q&A thread; but if you don't mind I have a question regarding 15x? wheels on our trucks.

I recently picked up a new to me '68 swb Chevy that I want to put on steelies (mag slots now) and I'd like to take the lead from some of you w/ the 15x8 rear and 15x narrower fronts; retaining the 6 lug pattern. I'd also like to A) upgrade to disc brakes & *maybe* B)lower front via drop spindles.

My question is this; with those upgrades in mind, are there any fitment problems I could encounter using that wheel equipment? I know shopping for 15x8/6hole could be a while and don't want to be disappointed later. Thanks.
