low 73-87 on steel rallys/small tires - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just bought a 85 C10 short bed. Looking for pics of 73-87 trucks on steel rallies with small tires slammed low like in the picture. Also if someone could guess at a tire size for this look I would appreciate it. I am thinking maybe 225/50/15.

The maroon truck is the look I’m after. The grey truck is mine. The white truck is my truck after Photoshop.

275s stick out too far for me (275/25.4 = 10.8) on an 8 inch rim. Rallies are 7.5. I think I can live with a tire 1.5 inches wider than the rim. (7.5 + 1.5) *25.4 = 228.6. So maybe I will go with a 225 or a 235. 50 seems a little low to me and 60 maybe to tall and they dont make an affordable 55 (atleast tirerack says they dont).

those are 255/60/15's on mine all the way around in that top pic. with a 5/7 drop there is no wheel gap in the front and the rears tuck.
