Pic request - 295/50/15 tires - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

75stepside · 12-09-2004, 10:49 PM

i'm trying to get an idea of what tires to put on my project. since i put that new axle underneath my ride, i've got a little more room to stuff a tire as the axle was shorter than stocker. i was leaning toward a 325/50/15, but i'm told its way too big and i've have to minitub the truck to get them underneath it.

soooooooooo, i'm looking into 295/50/15's or 295/60/15's and would like to see some pics of anyone's who's got 'em... or something comparable.... and would like to know what your runnning on the front too.

thank you!!!

No Minitubs needed. It's a TIGHT fit, but on a 15x10" rim with 6" of BS, a 325/50 15 will work. I'll get a picture of it.

But he said he now has a narrower rearend in it so will the 15x10's and 6" bs still work? Depends on just how much narrower the current rear is.

295/50/15's on 15x10's all the way around. But I don't think I'll have them on the front again. If you want a pic from a different angle just let me know.
