Wheel/tire picture thread

[big_al_71]

I saw a similar thread on another forum and I thought I should post it on here for everyone to share. There are alot of threads asking about backspacing, tire size etc, so this is a chance to share what you have as well as inform others

things you need to post if you can:

• -
  • wheel size front/rear
    
  • - tire size front/rear
    
  • - make/model of tire
    
  • - make/model of wheel
    
  • - backspace
    
  • - picture of the truck/blazer/suburban open to all years

Go ahead and post what you have.

^^^ I have to ask, Sicklajoie, do you still have the six lug setup on your truck? And out of what ford did you get those wheels? I like the look.

[bajaracing]

I just picked up some rallys and tires, and thanks to this forum found alot of usefull info. Even with all the measurments, I was still unsure I was picking the right tires.

Fronts 15x8 stock BS on BFG 245/60/15, Rears 15x10 5.25 BS on BFG 275/60/15
72 C/10, stock rearend width. Tires: Paid 110ea for rears, and 103ea fronts..

I'll be taking these home tomorrow to see how they fit/look.

Waiting on new shoes, sanding flames off, new solid matt finish coming soon..


One side is about .25 closer to edge, than other side..

Thanks.
It's a C/20 so it's an 8 lugger.
By 16 X 7 wheels I meant they're 7 inches wide.
The F*rd wheels are from pretty much any 3/4 ton pickup or van up until the late 90's.

Al I think it would also be a good idea to state what drop and suspension mods have been done.

Here's what I have.

68 Stepside. 3.5/5 drop 15x8 (3.75"bs) on all four corners. Tires: BFGoodrich T/A Radials 275/60/15 rear, 255/60/15 steer





Same 3.5/5 drop but with 17x9.5(5.5"bs and 7/16" spacers) 275/55/17 rear, 17x8(4"bs) 255/50/17 front. Tires are Hankook Ventus ST RH06







Same wheel/tire combo as above but with 3/4" drop block in rear for 3.5/5.75 drop.

[gcburdic]

I have a CPP Grand Slam 2"/4"....these are 6 lug rally's...15x8 fronts (235/60/15) 15x10 rears (275/60/15) Uniroyal Tiger Paw's

[72Bob]

Stock 1969 C10 with 8" Rallye's 275/60/15 BFG Radial Drag TA's Front / Rear.

If I did again, would go a size or two smaller on the front.

[CC69Rat]

Truck is a 69, 68 clip. 84 front suspension swap. 2.5" McGaughys drop spindles and one turn cut from the stock small block springs. (could change soon, PO cut the springs)

I had the engine in my truck this spring and had a problem. It had to come back out. The pics you see with the new wheels are more current, the pics with truck rallys are to show how much the big block will bring the front end down once I get it back in. The tires on the rallyes are 215/65 I think, ..

4.5" drop in the front with 1.25 HD rotors. (I gained about .5 in track width) .. and a big block with iron heads.

6" drop springs in the back, no wood in the bed, not much gas in it, bumper, or driver's step fender on it. It may come down another 2" when I get my notch in place. .. or bags..

The wheels are Billet Specialties Dagger.

F 20x8.5 5.5" BS 255/40/20 Nitto 420s
R 20x8.5 4.75" BS 255/45/20 Nitto 420s

I have the earlier rear end housing. 55.5" plate to plate.

These wheels were measured 316,543 times with a Percy's wheelrite. I'm confident I can tell you .. you can't get much more than this under a stepper without cutting something somewhere. I have heard 22x9 with 5" BS will work with minor trimming. I just offset mine to keep from having to cut my fenders. My tires will tuck completely into the wheel wells, no rubbing with about 3/8" clearance on either side in the back.

You just can't get as much tire under a stepper !! I know, people have more under theirs .. I just didn't want to cut anything.
