Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
jac70ss You have an absolutely gorgeous truck. Any chance you would be willing to give out the information on what you did to get it to that ride height. I have a very nice stock short bed fleet side big window cab truck with the stock suspension. I have been thinking about bringing her down a bit. Thanks in advance

255/70r15 on 15x8 truck rallies
The two slots are 15x7 Western Wheel. Once I find another pair of the slots, I'll run those, but finding two more is my problem.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Just installed today! 275/55-17 tires on a 17x9" wheel with 4.75" back space. The truck is dropped 4.25" in front and 6" in the rear. I was surprised to see how well everything fit. No rubbing issues so far with good (adequate) clearances. I'll post if I have a problem with rubbing while turning AND hitting a bump. But so far so good.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
mfm3, thanks for the props. I was pleasantly surprised at how well these tires squeezed in there.
rvfoot, I believe that is Glenwood Green. The truck was painted by a PO, but that color matches the firewall color (unpainted) very closely. As you suggested, it is maybe a tad darker. |

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
I think the left side tires need a little air.

Same wheels as before, but found a set of center caps and trim rings

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
I have 6 inches to my inner fenders. If I figure 1/2" for the lip of the rim and 1" for tire clearance I would need a 4 1/2" backspacing. Im looking for a 9.5 or 10 inch rear wheel. All the backspacing is 5.5 or above. What are you guys doing with the 10 inch wheels? Spacers?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
I did custom 4.5" backspacing for my 10" wide wheel as there are not many off the shelf wheels that come in 4.5" BS.
It will be very close to the inside fender lip, I did some trimming there just get a bit more clearance. 9.5" wide wheel would work well. |

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Even with a 9.5" wheel I am going to have to buy a wheel with 4.5" of back spacing or use 1" spacers in the rear.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Yes, I was not trying to imply you would not. As I was saying a 9.5" wheel will give a bit more room from the fender lip over the 10" wide wheel where it was pretty close (for me) with my 4.5" BS 10" wheel.
