what are you guys running on your c20's im looking for some tires on 16 inch rims can i get some ideas and pictures thanks

[Sinister]

I'm running 265/70R16's They fill the wheel well nicely and the speedometer is correct.

235/85r16 i posted pics of the rims painted and not because i feel it makes the tire look different size and fit, obviously still same size but the appearances seem different (to me)

I have LT245/75/16 on mine, It originally had 7.50x16 tires on it, The 245's are shorter and I like that.

is this gonna be a hauling truck, or just for cruising?
An LT tire will beat the crap out of you if you are always unloaded. In this case, you are better off with a tire intended for a late model SUV or 1/2 ton late model truck. A P rated tire.
If this will be used for hauling, then stick with the LT rubber.

it is my dd but i do haul with it just not all the time and i believe the ones i have on right now are Lt235/75/16 but i have to double check the tires and rims came off a 07 2500 the PO says but my speedo is 5 miles off im doing 40 when it reads 45 ill double check the size tomorrow but what are some good tires that will last long are BF's good?

hey joesjunk what is the rim size that your running? and do you happen to have some extra dogdish caps i really wanna run the rim setup you have and i like your truck alot here is mine i think it will be a good first vehicle its what ive always wanted haha i picked it up for 3000 did i do good?

Nice truck, looks great for 3K. That is actually what I paid for this one in 1997 with 50K original miles on it. It has 65K miles on it now and is all original except the wheels and hub caps. The wheels are 16x7 Ford van wheels, they have the deeper offset than the GM wheels, I think they look better. I do have a really nice set of caps I might sell, but they are not cheap.

thanks im glad to hear i did good mine has 120k original miles and well how much i saw a guy on here selling some for 120 i wish i had the money then but i do now and he doesnt have them anymore but yeah those rims are just what i want they look amazing on your truck and i checked my tires they are LT245/75/R16 and my speedo is off by 5mph

ok im going to run LT265/70R16's thanks sinister but what are a good tire i want them to be a little more beefy than the ones im running whats a good choice?

265x75x16 Coursers on 8" Raceline Renegades. I've had good wear from these tires and they are pretty quit on the highway but still have enough tread to not get stuck easy.
