Looking for ideas for rim/tire combo's and maybe stance? (lowered?)
I was thinking of those 8 lug aluminum slots, hd 2500 wheels, or the extra wide steelies. anyone have pics? Any pis of longhorns would relly be cool.

Thanks!

Here ya go. Fronts are 16x7 F0rd rims(will switch to 16x6.5 GM's soon

) with 235/85/16's and rears are the hard to find 16.5x9.75 GM steel rims with 33/12.50 BFGoodrich A/T's. Front end is stock HD springs, and HD rear coils with the aluminum twist-in spacers to lift the rear up so the 33's don't rub when hauling a load.

Hmmmm.... 33 x 12.5 x 16.5 on 9.75 Ansen slots all around in pic #1. 31 x 10.5 x 16.5 on 8.25 steelies up front and 33 x 12.5 x 16.5 on 9.75 steelies out back.

I lowered the back 1.5" using lowering shackles and left the front alone. It's still slightly higher in the back, but that just allows for hauling stuff, which is what I use the truck for. (It only gets out of the garage about once a month.)

The wheel tire combo is an aluminum 17x9 with 285/60-17 Kumhos (and yes, I'm ashamed that I put import tires on a classic truck).

Not the best picture for stance, but it's the best on I've got here at work.

Here is my 69 Chevy on 31" tires on 15" rims.

Sweet, Thanks! Keep em coming! Any pics of HD 2500 wheels out there?
I need to buy something QUICK! 30 days or less, need to make up my mind and then find some if anyone knows of anything..

Are you doing a quasi-stock "period" resto or are you going wild? Tough to do with a 3/4 ton! Is it going to be a work truck or are you lowering it? Trailer queen? All this matters at the end of the day. I saw a perfect set of "Dukes of Hazard" style (wide fin turbines) 9.75's x 16.5's for sale here for $80 for a set of four! If you are doing a period restoration they could look good. If you are doing 20's...I can't offer you any advice or help at all....LOL!

I would love to do the "quasi stock" thing, really want to stick w/ 16's, I would say 17's max. This truck is so clean, and it's all stock, the jack hasn't even been used. I will be doing some towing so I don't want to get too crazy w/ the stance, but it just needs a little attitude!
