Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
265/75/16s on some American racing wheels. Changed the backspacing so when I add fender flares it will look stock.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
My Burb came stock with P245/75R16's and the ugliest alloys ( IMHO) GM ever made. The rims on it now are 17's from a 2005 Avalanche with P265/70R17's. I've had lots of compliments about the Avalanche rims on my Burb. A great upgrade for not much money.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
I agree, but what's so weird is how different they look with the smooth centers. Changes the whole look of the wheel. But I really like the Avalanche wheels on there. The OBS 4wd guys have it so easy with all these newfangled factory wheels

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
255/85-16 Cooper Discoverer STs on Ford 7" wheels. 33" tall w/o the excessive width and no need to lift,just cranked up torsion bars. It goes through mud and snow better than lifted trucks with bigger tires. Rolls down the hiway better,too

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
Havent had any Issues at all. I did a little playing around last night. 22X9.5 with a 265/35/22 on the rear, fits perfect other than I would have to roll the lip a little bit. Could probably use a little more sidewall tho .... Maybe a 285/35/22 .... Gonna try one when I get some in stock . No way it will work on the front lowered this much.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
Basic set up:
Front end: Lowered about 4” with 2” drop spindles and drop springs Cut fender flange lip off flush with inner fender well, spot welded inner & outer back together and ground smooth. Pulled inner fender well bolt directly above tire out. Rear end: Lowered about 6’ with axle flip kit and c-notch plates. Added some air-assist air bags so he could have some adjustability on rear ride height and adjust for carrying a load or pulling a trailer. Had to do some e-brake relocating and rerouting to clear air bags and keep from rubbing the inside of the wheel and tires. Rolled rear fender flange with vise grips and shot filled rubber mallet. Then with a hydraulic-jack a 2x4 slightly widened the outer fender paying very close attention to the sheet metal as to not distort anything. Gained about 3/8” Wheels and Tires: Front: Showheels Streeters 18” x 8” with 0 offset mounted with Falken Ziex ZE-612 (235/60R-18) Rear: Showheels Streeters 18” x 9” with a +6 offset mounted with Falken Ziex ZE-612 (265/60R-18) More: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=621197 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by devind; 03-17-2014 at 10:35 PM. |
