Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

Freshly installed 17x8 Vision Legend 6 with 275/60 back and 255/60 front. I'm gonna add a .25 or .50" spacer in the rear as it is real tight to the inside.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

Zero offset which was 4.5" backspace. A smaller tire would have helped, but I wanted the biggest tire possible.

Powdercoated stock steel wheels, bullet lug nuts and 8.15-15 5/8 white wall Firestone Deluxe Champions. I have a set of old GMC caps that I plan to clean up and potentially use.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

Those Firestones have such a classic look. I went through a lot of them back in the mid 60's. My dad had a friend that owned a late model wrecking yard, so I routinely bought the brand new spare tires out of wrecked Buicks and other late model GM cars. I paid $5 each for them back in those days.

Your truck sure does make me miss my shiny black lacquer paint job. Not enough to do it over again, but I do admire the gloss black paint on this body style.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

These are stock 62' wheels that actually came off of the truck right above.
Tires are BFGoodrich Silvertown's 275/75's.
