Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
My 2wd 70 gmc has the original 15" stock steelies which i plan on reusng after a frame off. Measuring best I can with tire on pulling a wire through the rim the wheel appears to be 7" wide. Does this sound right or should it be a 15"x8" which people seem to describe as stock? I'm trying to figure the largest (tallest) tire i can put on my wheel with stock height. Thanks in advance.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I thought that I had posted on this thread, but after reading front to back I realized that I hadn't. Lots of nice pickups here and I love the steelie look. The last picture is me, so you could say that I grew up with the steelie look....

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
366c20: looks like based on your tire size you've got a 33" tire in the well. Good info to know. Thanks for sharing.
Since i can get up to that size under the truck with stock suspension, i could wrap my wheels with a 33x10.5r15 if the rims are 8" wide. However, if their 7" i'm gonna be limited by the width (maybe a 33x9.5r15? - really narrow). Can anybody confirm the stock width 7" or 8"?

I have the original 15" 6 lug wheels from a 1969 C/10 that was ordered with HD suspension & brakes but a 250 CID L6 three speed tranny and heavy duty clutch ~ they are 7" wide .
Maybe the 8" wide rims were for Camper Specials ? .

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I believe most stock 15" wheels are 5 1/2"-6". I believe the 7" wheels were on later K-models. There were never any 8 x 15 wheels offered on these trucks. The wider option was 8.25 x 16.5 and I've only seen that on K-models

I have 31x10.50's on 8" wheels and they seem to run a little narrower than a 10.50 should. I see no problem with putting them on a 6 or 7 inch wheel. I can get a pic for you if you'd like. |
