My truck currently has 215 /70/ r15 tires on it. I think its because it still has Armstrong steering and standard brakes. It is still the original 6 bolt
I will be upgrading to power steering and power drum brakes and keep the 6 bolt set up.
If i do so what size tires can i go too? I have to make up mind now as Canadian dollar is high and I can still get rims in the U S for a decent price.
Please advise

With 15 inch rims you have a lot of choices, but it really depends on what you want - snow tires? tires for the summer? You have to ask yourself what specifically you want, because pretty much anything will work.

Snow Tires????? I dont think I,ll be driving it in the snow. I would like to put on some all seasons a bit beefier than what I have.

Hey, I'm just down in St.Catharines and am finishing up a 69! It came with a set of 15" 6 lugs Boyd Cottington Nemesis wheel w/new tires that I'm not using.

PM me if you want details or help finding wheels (I spent a month looking).
