?Best rims/tire size?,,,, 1970 C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Morning All, (at least on the left coast still)
I need tires, and thinking about rims, would 16x10s be too wide for mine? What does everyone run on their rigs? I would LOVE the old Slotted mags, but more than likely I will have to go with newer ones...
the P.O. has put P225/75/15s on him and they are a tad small and they are P-rated car tires, so they HAVE to go. I saw some 16x10s a guy has for sale, 6 lug, but I am not sure if I want to spend the $$ and them be too wide.
Thanks
Joe

16in is kind of an odd size.. most have 15, 18 or 20 inch rims

I'm a little old school

They're 15/8 & 15/10 with 255 & 275X60 tires. The backspace is 4in up front and 5in out back (but with narrow rear diff I have 1in spacers so 4in BS all around would of been best). Also, disc conversion up front.

I here some trucks may be different so take with grain of sand.
