Correct me if I'm wrong. One of the great benifits to a 12" wide wheel is to help square up the tire for a better better contact patch.

You are correct. My truck should have had wider wheels when it was together
last time. I had a 33 10.5 w tire on a 10 inch wheel before but now I will have them on a 14 inch wheel.

Thanks for the props on the wheels. I hope to get back on his truck real soon.

Thanks!
They might even be available fairly soon as I'm looking to upgrade to a 17/18 stagger (or similar) wheels.... and am considering letting these go, and buying something wider for the track. Have 2 passes and maybe 70-80mi on them.

Well, I went with the 325's and a 15x10. I'm going to be running Convo Pro's too. I got a good deal on M/Ts this past summer. Brand new never used, $340 shipped. Got a set of gently used Convo Pro's for $340 shipped. The down side after measuring this past weekend, I'm going to have to mini tub it anyway. Oh well, I'll just make room for a wider combo if I want them down the road.

Looking to run 28x12x15's front and rear on my 67 fleet side with 10" wide wheels. Anyone know off hand if these will stuff in the stock wells without major clearance issues? Stage II Porterbuilt setup.

Sixshooter44 · 04-10-2013, 10:40 PM

With a 15x10 rim what kind of bs would work on a 67 stepper? Thanks guys

68GMCCustom · 04-10-2013, 11:46 PM

5" would work... but to match the bs of the front 15x8's (if at 4")...you'd want 6"

Sixshooter44 · 04-11-2013, 01:01 AM

Thanks for the reply, this is my first truck an I am excited to see what can be done with it

Why do they say "Goodyear"?

I painted the sidewalls with the Goodyear Eagle logos. Going for the NASCAR theme with the build. The Nitto tires are from Diamondback with their Smoothie treatment on the sidewalls. Made a template off an actuall NASCAR Goodyear Eagle and copied it on the Nittos.

Haven't had a chance to take a rear shot yet. I removed my inner wheel wells. Doubt they would fit with this wide of tire.

Anyone have a rear end shot of a fleet side 67-72 with a 325-50-15 on a 10" rim and 5" back spacing?

C0UCH · 08-12-2013, 03:24 PM

I'll take a rearend shot tonight, although mine are 9.5 wide wheels with 4.5" backspacing. Haven't measured my rearend width though.

I appreciate it and what size tire do you have on the front?? That looks killer! I have 275/60-15's on the front of my truck and it looks pretty good, but your truck looks amazing with the fronts that wide!

Front and rear are all 325/50R15 on Aero Series 59 wheels. 15x9.5 (4.5" BS)

Wow! I knew there was lots of room in the front wheel well for more tire then my 275/60-15, but didn't think to try a 325/50-15 up there! I think I'll just leave the 275's up there with the 15x8 truck ralley's and put the 325/50-15's on the rear with a 15x10 truck ralley from Wheel Vintiques

Did you get a chance to take a rear end shot of your truck?

Thanks

My friend runs 325/50r15 bfgs on 15x10 weld wheels on the back. I have pictures but it won't let me upload.
