big tires

[greasemonkey71]

what are the widest tires i can fit on a 71

[1968CHEVYC10]

I've got 31x11.5's on mine, pretty good clearance, and I've heard guys running 12.5's with no issues

here is my 315/35/20 on my truck before I tubbed it. I think with a little bit of lean, the tires would have rubbed the wheel well.

Need more info. Whats size wheel and width do you plan? How much drop? Stepside or fleetside?

[greasemonkey71]

its a fleet side

the front is droped 3in and ass is still stock height
im not sure what size wheels

theres a guy on base whos got some 15x15 wheels that hes getting rid of

wanted to see what i need to do to fit those under the truck

Need a rim w/ alot of backspace (6.5") i think you can run 29x15.5 easy

[big_al_71]

this is a 295-45-20 and it is as wide as i could go without any mods to the bedside or inner fender...

I'm pretty sure you can't fit a 15x15 wheel without mods. I think a 10" wide wheel is about the max, at least with a decent tire. You could maybe fit an 11 or 12" wheel with the right tire size, but still may have some rubbing issues.

The 15" wide wheels may fit without notching the frame, but will require bed mods. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will comment.

mini tub to bed is required to fit tire, but no c-notch!
