Wheels are Chevy truck Rallys. Ebay find. Refurbished (painted/polished) with new caps and lugs. The guy restores vintage wheels plus does some ground up restorations on what seemed to me all Chevys. Tires are Cooper Cobras 275/60r15. Struggled with size (255/70 was other consideration). I like tall trucks too. But I decided this one will be lowered (my first). So I went with the lower profile. I was 100% BFG but, availability and impatience put me in the Cobras. Saved a few hundred and If i decide I like a tall truck more, it will be easily reversed, with not much loss on the tires.

What a great truck to begin your journey with. I personally like the direction you are going (wheels) and doing basics before appearance(drop). Enjoy it and keep us posted!
