What size tires are you running on 10" rims - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 09-16-2006, 12:38 PM

I'm putting a pair of 15x10 rallies on the back of my truck and would like to know what guys are running for tires.

1972 · 09-16-2006, 12:57 PM

I like the looks of a 275/60-15 on a 10" wide wheel. A 295/50-15 also looks good if you want a shorter and wider tire.

28x13.50-15LT ET Street

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-16-2006, 01:44 PM

My buddy has 275/50-15's on his old truck, mean and low

lilpup69chevy · 09-16-2006, 01:49 PM

i like the 275 60 15 look all the way around on these trucks, friend of mine had 295 50's all the way around on his 69

BowTieMan · 09-16-2006, 02:01 PM

275 /60 on a 15x10

dougs69c10 · 09-16-2006, 03:03 PM

31x10.5x15 on my turbines

Longhorn Man · 09-16-2006, 03:32 PM

I had the 275/60's on my old rig when I had 10 inch wide rims... in front, (same width) I have 265/60's if I remember right.

SCOTI · 09-16-2006, 06:44 PM

Radials....

Short = 275/60-15 (< = 28")
Tall = 285/70=15 (> = 30")

Stickies....

Short = 28x10.5x15
Tall = 30~31x10.5x15

**Steven B** · 09-18-2006, 03:16 PM

295/50/15 on ralleyes

MrC1 · 09-18-2006, 03:49 PM

Kumho 285/70-17s on mine. I was hesitant to go with an imported brand of tire on a classic truck, but the tread design is what I was looking for (somewhat agressive looking street tread). I guessI just try to pretend they're not Japanese, Korean or whatever they are.

jhow66 · 09-18-2006, 04:22 PM

35's

67chevy2wd · 09-18-2006, 04:40 PM

here is a 295/50/15 on a 10" wide rim.

A.P. · 09-18-2006, 05:02 PM

I have four 295/50/15 (indy 500 from firestone). Good wheel.

I have indy 500's also and I liked them for the few miles I got to put on them, the truck has since been "In pieces" mode since I bought the tires.

71chevylowrider · 09-19-2006, 12:37 PM

I have BF Goodrich 305/50/R15's in the back, can't quite tuck em, but they sure are meaty!

70short · 09-19-2006, 12:54 PM

295 50 15 All around Not very good pictures.

How wide are your rims? What backspacing are they? How much drop do you have on that truck? That stance looks perfect with those tires!

71chevylowrider · 09-19-2006, 01:48 PM

I beleive the drop is 4/6 using early classic's spindles & lowering blocks ect. The wheels were on the truck when I bought it, I know the PO so I can ask him about the backspacing, I do know they are ameriacan Eagle no. 218's I would guess the fronts are 8" & the backs are 10" but they look huge back there, maybe their bigger then 10"

project1971 · 09-19-2006, 02:21 PM

running 295/50/15 all the way around on champ 500's can't wait 'till i get power steering! I have arms like Popeye!

gator2511 · 09-19-2006, 02:52 PM

I have B.F. Goodrich All terrains on mine 32x11.5x15.

72swbcamo · 09-20-2006, 11:53 PM

I also have B.F. Goodrich All terrains on mine 32x11.5x15. I am putting them on a 4X4 swb stepside. here's some pics.

**truckdude239** · 09-21-2006, 06:19 AM

255/70r15

Ackattack · 09-22-2006, 07:09 AM

I had both a set of 275/60/15s and 295/50/15s. Both looked good.

Now I'm running 275/50/17s
