Widest wheels to use on 66? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to know what is the deepest wheel i can use on my stock stance frame? Right now i have 15" x 10" deep aluminum bajas i want to try to use but I dont know if they will fitr under the bed of the truck. If these wheels will work, I would also like to know what the widest tires i can run. Will 50 series fit without rubbing? Thansk for any help.

50 series has nothing to do with the width, p275 50 is the same width as a p275 60, the 60 will have a taller side wall height. You should be fine if your at stock ride height, and if dont plan on haulin anything. To be safe I wouldnt go any wider than a 275. I had 275 on an eight inch wheel on mine before I lowered it three inches and they barely rubbed when I took a corner alittle to fast.

I would'nt think so, unless they have four or five inches of backspacing.
