Questions about rim/tire combo for an '84 c10

[jdl71]

Welcome! Looks like a pretty solid truck you found, well done! You might find it helpful to use a metric tire conversion calculator, like this. That will give you the tire size you are looking at in inches, after which you can go out to the truck with a tape measure and get an idea. The rears are not likely to be a problem fitting about anything, but the front is where you will need to do some measuring, with the wheels turned lock to lock. Make sure to measure both sides, with the wheels turned all the way each direction. And as mentioned, be aware of backspacing on whatever wheels you get, it can make a world of difference.

Thanks everyone. I went out and took some general measurements, not sure if I got exactly what I need. I turned the wheels from side to side and measured only about 3.5 inches of clearance from the inside of the wheel well when all of the way turned; same thing for the edge of the tire to the fender wall when turned as well. With that little of clearance on these 235/75/15's it seems like I might have trouble going very much bigger.

By the way, I tried searching the forum but there are so many random wheel threads that it makes it tough, and I don't really know exactly what terms to search so I apologize again for these questions.
