EdB · 07-04-2008, 10:51 PM

Tires and wheels look great.

*Shane* · 07-04-2008, 11:17 PM

look good ... what are the wheel widths and the tire sizes?

67_C-30 · 07-04-2008, 11:24 PM

I'm gonna guess 275/60's and 245/60's! Looks good!

pat123 · 07-05-2008, 01:48 AM

215/60 nad 255/60
havent got them on the truck yet, think they will look good?

**Palf70Step** · 07-05-2008, 08:08 AM

Yep, they will look right at home on the truck.

Mine are 275/60's and 245/60's but this is what they look like on my '69.

caminokid · 07-05-2008, 08:39 AM

Now thats what should be on any truck! Those look good. I dont know guys...I guess I am old fashioned here when it comes to tires. I believe if it came with 15's...then that should be on it.

LONGHAIR · 07-05-2008, 10:18 AM

They look lonely....

I agree!

thirdstreettito · 07-05-2008, 01:23 PM

Put em on, then we'll see how they look!

weasel29gm · 07-05-2008, 01:27 PM

Ralleys and T/A's can't go wrong!!!!

ChevyC102007 · 07-05-2008, 01:31 PM

Looks good.
I have to agree with the "If it came with 15's then run 15's" philosiphy (sp), however, the price of a set of 16's are sometimes a bit higher (other times there the exact opposite just depends where ya go) but they are more plentiful.

pat123 · 07-05-2008, 05:04 PM

will post pics when their on

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-05-2008, 10:10 PM

they look great and theyll just as good on the truck

Critter · 07-05-2008, 10:20 PM

Nice!

72BlckButy · 07-07-2008, 12:57 AM

Do you have them mounted yet?

pat123 · 07-07-2008, 06:59 PM

not yet doing some engine work first

pat123 · 07-21-2008, 03:24 PM

finally got them on
the front look a little bit small but their growing on me

big_al_71 · 07-21-2008, 03:56 PM

Once you lower it it will look alot better just my .02!!!!

OrangeCrush1970 · 07-21-2008, 04:09 PM

DROP IT!
Those look nice....great truck!

70rs/ss · 07-21-2008, 04:53 PM

That needs to be lowered about 4" in the front and 6" in the rear. IMO275/60 15's are about a small as I'd go on a truck, unless it is too low to clear in the front. I used to love 15's but with my above statement, 275/60 15's are too small and the only other size a performance tread is offered in is the 295/60 that is wider and shorter than the 275/60, and any taller tire has a lot of sidewall and is more a lt (light truck0 tread than a perf/street type tread. I am warming up to 16, 17, 18, even 20's on a rare occasion, beacause you can fit a taller tire without a lot of sidewall and it is still considered a perf/street tread. No, I am not into rubber bands for tires, but I am putting H2 wheels on my 2wd Blazer frankenstien build. 8-lug 2wd suspension with 17X8.5 H2 wheels will allow me to fit a 28-30" tall tire without it looking big on a 15" wheel. Different strokes for different folks.
