What size tires?
Looking to put 20s and 22s on my 71. Any tire size reccomendations? I'm leaning towards 225-35-20 and 255-30-22.

Re: What size tires?
I tend to like a little more sidewall, but I was considering running 20's all the way around. I was planning on running 245/40 and 295/40. On the front you could even run 255/40.
Just my $.02.... Somewhere on the board there is a thread with wheel/tire combos people have installed on their trucks. Best of luck with the choice!

Re: What size tires?
The side wall was what I was worrying about. The 245-40-20 is about 1.5" taller...that might be a good choice. Thanks for the input.
