Is putting on larger tires and modern rims a sacrilege - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

20" Del Rays on my truck... I like them. Although if I was to do it again, I'd probably go 18's

18" Ramblers on mine. I like the ratio of tire to wheel.

I'm still trying to figure out the pic flip deal.

My truck, my decision. I personally like a larger wheel and tire combo but to each their own.

I respect and can appreciate ALL of them. But in all fairness, not everyone likes big fluffy balloon tires either. It is what it is I guess.

Flip fa ya.

Posting from a phone...I too would not know how to flip it correctly but, posting from a computer is easy: just right click the image and select Rotate Right and keep doing that until your image is upright. It can become necessary to open the image in an image editor (paint is Windows Standard) and rotate it in that editor, then save it.

Whatever makes you smile when you look at the truck, is the the perfect setup!

The old farm truck tires were really tall back in the day, especially split rim versions.

It was actually like driving a 1940s John Deere . I put 16s on it with radial tires it’s much easier to turn with no power steering and doesn’t bounce your kidneys around with every bump . I plan on putting the 17s back on but with modern radials .

This is how it sits now
