Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
I still like them looking like they came from the factory. I know, tonneau cover and 73+ wheels. 1972 Chevrolet Trucks brochure has a Cheyenne Super on the cover with full wheel covers and white stripe tires. Every other truck in the brochure has black wall tires. No white letters.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
I wanted a white stripe like my truck came with in 1972. The ONLY ones I could find were the Toyo 235/75R15. I had never heard of Toyo and was a little apprehensive. But so far, 2 years later and 3 vacations from Florida to North Carolina mountains, they have been great. Smooth riding, quiet and zero vibration at speeds. After I had them on the truck, a friend of mine who works in the rubber industry, told me Toyo has an excellent reputation for quality in the rubber industry. I paid $110 per tire, including mounting, balancing, valve stems and Nitrogen fill.

Awesome looking pickup. I have a 67 that will look similar when done. Amazing what a simple paint scheme can look like when well done! |

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
I love 15", love factory steel wheels (wish I had some), and I love white letter, but that's me.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
^ That's whats crazy about these trucks... they all look different. Your truck looks lower than 3/5.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
Mine has 15" wheels... for now. They are 8" wide 6 lug wheels with the original dog dish caps. I don't know enough about these yet to determine if they are factory 8" wheels or if they have been widened to 8". Tires are 275/60r15 and the truck was lowered about 2" by heating the springs (previous owner's handiwork).

Hmmm. That pic looks like it could be used in a chevy truck brochure back in the day doesnt it? The 8"rims and big tires look good on it
