68 chevy wheel size
Ok im building a 68 up and need some help with wheel sizes. The pickup started out being a heavy 3/4 ton and i converted it to a 1/2 ton. While i did the 1/2 ton swap i put 4 inch drop coils in the the rear and lowered the front. How wide of wheel/ tire combo can you go without tubbing the bed?

Re: 68 chevy wheel size
Max wheel width varies depending on final ride height.
With a 4" drop & the stock size tubs you mentioned, a 10" wide wheel will prob be about the most you can easily squeeze.
