Re: Tire Size?

I cannot offer any personal info on this, but there is some info to be discovered here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=285491

Not 17's but there are some overall diameters posted, then you can do the math on it.. Hope this helps some.

Re: Tire Size?

Alot of guys run a 275/50/17-255/50/17 combo. I'm looking at either a 275/55/17-255/55/17 or 285/60/17-275/50/17 combo when/if I go with 17's.

The first truck is See Ten's truck with the 275/50-255/50/17 combo.
Second and third pics are WhatNow123's with the 285/60-275/50 combo.
Last 2 pics have a 275/60-255/60/17 combo.

Re: Tire Size?

I agree with the 275/50/17-255/50/17 combo.
Look at Nitto 450 tires.
Good price and they work great with a 17x8 and 17x9.5 set of rims.
I had them on my blazer when it had 17's on it.
