No picture but ran them for years on my 87 SWB, awesome look and man those Firestone SS Radials lasted forever. Sad day when they quit making those tires.

Wish they didn't cost much. I've found some used 17" aluminum wheels and noticed the larger diameter lower profile tires are cheaper and usually in stock

not stock rally's but they are 15 x8 --- seemed like a size that was tailor made for these old trucks for years, ---- got this whole setup for $500 new a few years ago -- most of the tire shops around here can't give away 15" combo's anymore , unless its for a jeep or something

Guess I am kinda old school,I was 16 in 1981 when I got my first truck a 1978 Chevy C10,then had a '83 with cragar ss five spokes with 8's and 10's on 275/295 15" rubber. That look on these old squares can't be beat IMO. Never have liked any wheels over 17",but hey,that's me......
