c20 tire size? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Went to Costco looking for 9.5x16.5 tires and was quoted $200 per tire

So - what metric tire size will fit a stock c20 wheel? I have thought about upgrading to aftermarket wheels, but holding off on that to complete other projects.

You'll need new rims. 16 inch truck tires are WAY cheaper than 16.5.

I went with LT235/85/16.
About $85-100 and up depending where you buy them.

That's kinda what I figured. Just found Stockton Wheel Looks like they carry stock hubcaps as well. I wonder what a set would cost?

How tall is that tire? The 9.5 is 29"..

It is a tall tire. 31.5" -32 inches, depending on manufacture.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago 16.5 are pricey . I went with these 16" for less than 800 .out the door
