Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
I am ready to order my wheels and tires and can't decide on the size for the rear. I have decided on 255/45 18s [18x8 wheel] for the front but can't decide if I should go with 295/40 20s on the rear or 315/35 20s [20x10 wheel]. I originally planned on the 295s but my tire guy thinks the 315s would look better... I am not sure.
I think that having the sidewall heights match is important so I used the tire sizing guide at 1010tires.com and the 315s theoretically have a side wall height of 4.34". The 295/40s are said to be 4.64". The front 255/45s would be 4.51". I like the idea of 12.5" of tread width on the 315s, but wonder if the tire would look like it needs to be on a wider rim, which I don't want. I don't have to worry about having enough room for the 315s width because I have a shortened rear-end and have tubbed the bed 5.5" on each side. And the truck will have air ride so they have to tuck. Anyone fit 315s on a 10" rim? |

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
Here is my setup... Tire size is 31/16.50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Streets on 15" x 12" Weld Draglite wheels with 7.5"s of back-spacing. (NO these wheels will not fit on your stock truck, however they will if you change out your axles, I went with 35 Spline Moser's) Weld Draglites only come in 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 4.75 bolt circles. I have also included a couple of pics of my trailing arm modification... I have added the ability to adjust my trailing arms up or down in the front to suit my traction needs.

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
What is the bigest height tire can you use on the back of a 2 wheel drive half ton truck with stock suspension, without being lifted up. And how wide?

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
Wheel to ground is not a accurate measurement. Wheel and tire sizes will vary that measurement.
I have the rear drop measurement from a few guys with ECE 6" and they have between 2.5" to 3" between the axel and frame.

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
I will confirm that the rim width is the issue. I have 7" van rallys up front and they have never hit the controll arm. That 1" must be the clearance needed.
My front drop is 2.5 spindle and a 1" coil.

I love the back view. How much land you got? You could hide a few parts trucks back in those trees as well. Nice shop too. |

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
I have a 72 longhorn C30. I just ordered 18X9 rims. The truck is stock height. I could use some help in picking the right tire size. Thanks

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
see ten - are your inner fenders out of that truck? I'm running a 2.5" front drop and it looks like my tires will hit the inner fenders if I go over a bump. I noticed that you said you had some rubbing when cutting corners, and didn't see any comments on the inner fenders, so I thought I'd ask.

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
I will chip in and answer your question. I am running 2.5 spindle and 1" coil. 255/60's on the 7" van rallys. NEVER has it rubbed in the last 4000 miles. I am sure both of our trucks have inner fenders.
Only diffirence is he is using 8" rallys and 275/60 up front. What rim size do you have ?

Re: Wheel/Tire Fitment Pictures & Info
I'm running 235/75/15 on 8" rally's today, but want to put some 255/60/17 on the truck. The 17" will have more backspacing, probably 5". Just looking at my current 27.5" setup, I've only got 3-4" between the tire and the inner fender. I just thought our suspension moved that much when going over bumps in the road.
I don't want to goof up my powder coated chassis!! Thanks for the input. |
