Lets see some 15" wheel & tire combos - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MTCHEVY · 06-29-2009, 05:59 PM

So I know its not the cool "in" thing but Is anyone running a 15” wheels anymore? Seem like all I see is 18” plus, I just pick up a used set of 15" aluminum eagle wheels, but now I don’t know what tire to run. I am kicking around 255/50’s up front and 295/50s out back but am not sure how that would look. My truck is a 68 - 2 wheel drive step side.

Show me what you’re running in a 15?

Thanks

P.S. If there is already a 15 wheel thread let me know, I couldn’t seem to find it using the search

'72customdeluxe · 06-29-2009, 06:22 PM

Don't do the 295/50's please. They are too short for a truck. 255/60's up front and 275/60's out back look perfect for 15's imo

big mike71 · 06-29-2009, 07:06 PM

Here's mine 275/60/15 on 10" rallies all the way around.

FLDBRED · 06-29-2009, 07:27 PM

Great looking wheels and truck Mike!

rogergodding · 06-29-2009, 07:37 PM

This is a pic with my old wheels, they are 15"x10", with 265/50 front and 295/50 rear. They are not too short, just need to lower the back end

'72customdeluxe · 06-29-2009, 07:50 PM

good luck decently fitting 15x10's and 295/50's on a stock step side

kb3 · 06-29-2009, 09:49 PM

15x8
front 235/70/15
back 275/60/15

Good point, I plan on them sticking out a bit

But still a good point, Is anyone running a fat 295/50 on a step side? any fit issues?

byrd · 06-29-2009, 10:31 PM

Here is two of my driver with 15", and one of a parts truck with 15" wheels

235/60 look good on the front with 295/50's on the back. I had a '92 xcab 1500 with a 5/7 drop with 15x8 in front 15x10's in the back and that tire setup.

My 69 has 15x8's all around with 275/60's now, and I don't see why a 10" rim wouldn't fit easily if the truck isn't too low and the rim doesn't have a deep negative offset.

ChevLoRay · 06-29-2009, 10:40 PM

8's up front; 10's in the back. Front tires are 245-60 and rears are 275-60. 4-inch backspace up front; 5-inch in back. Wheels are Wheel Vintique....6-lug.

mas09ts · 06-29-2009, 11:39 PM

My 15 in ralley's

C/10 King · 06-30-2009, 12:07 AM

Mine are 255/60/15,but I prefer the 265/50 & 295/50 combo.

chevlwb68 · 06-30-2009, 01:30 AM

15 x 7" rallies restored by me.

BFG Radial TA's all the way around.

245/60R15's Front

275/60R15's Back.

Lippyp · 06-30-2009, 04:05 AM

Heres mine, not sure on the width of the wheels, either 8" but possibly 10", I'm getting a couple of the tyres reseated with new valves soon as they're leaking so I'll measure them then. Tyres are 31 x 10.5 BFG Long Trails but I plan on going to probably BFG Radial T/A's sometime soon. The previous owner had 31 x 10.5" AT's on it and I just replaced them in the same size as they were all cracked on the sides.

69c10step · 06-30-2009, 08:14 AM

245/60 in front, 275/60 in the rear

Now with 31x16.50's out back

68Stepbed · 06-30-2009, 08:53 AM

15x8's all around. 255/60/15 steer 275/60/15 rear. 3.5/5 drop
