New Member - '61 SBW Fleetside
Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself. In the short time I've been on this board, I've met some very helpful people. I'm coming from the Nova world so I don't know much about C10's.
Just got this truck and I think it's a good platform to start from. I plan on bagging it and want to lay frame. I will be ordering wheels / tires (smoothies & white walls) so from the responses I've received, 15x6 215/75/15 Front; 225/75/15 Rear should clear. Do you guys agree? |

Re: New Member - '61 SBW Fleetside
Welcome, nice rides. Yes those will work, check the aspect ratio for sidewall hieght when you get wider so you keep the same look. If you convert to 5 lug spindle/bakes and have your rears filled and drilled you could scoop these up from a board member north of you.

Re: New Member - '61 SBW Fleetside
Nice looking rides. I would look at getting the suspension first (drop member) and then pick the wheels based on the final assembly so back spacing can be verified along with wheel type to clear the brakes.
