Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
25 years and still looking amazing, that's something you don't see very often.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
ThIs G78 15 Goodyear Power Streak has been on this wheel under this truck since 1989. When I built the truck the Goodyear dealer found me 5 NOS, G 78 Goodyear tires.
This has prompted me to think that I may go back and dig out all the Polaroids from the late eighties and do a build thread on this truck.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
[QUOTE=davischevy;7609146]I figured Boog would be disappointed if I didn't post my long bed.
235/75/15 tires on 7" wheels with 2/4 drop. I finished this truck over 26 years ago and after all that time, the rear of the cab had settled, but I have replaced the cab mounts since these pics were taken.[/QUOT Very nice truck! Doesn't look like it has been done 26 years. Ray

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
It's got a little over 33,000 miles since I restored it.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
15 x 6, 235/75/15 if I recall correctly. Wondering (out loud in my own thread) if I should keep the raised letters, go white wall or all black. You can hardly see the letters and maybe I like it that way, who knows. G, I can't wait to start driving this thing again.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
Might as well throw mine in there. Small hubcaps and white rims were on the truck when I bought it and I added the P01's. Tires are 235/75R15's. Its funny how the different position of the sun and time of year changes the paint. The CList pic ( white bumpers ) was taken in Sept/Oct. and the other pic in mid February.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
I have found that the 30x9.50-15 tire looks perfect on a ln 8 inch rim. I think it would most closely resemble 255/70-15 but a bit taller and narrower.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
Bringing this back up. Seen quite a few tire and wheel questions on 15 inch combos lately, maybe this thread will help.
