66 4x4 rims

[amccomb]

Where is a good place to look for stock tires and rims for my 66 k-10? Is there any place that makes reproductions? What is the factory size rims, tires, offset? Thanks in advance.

There were 15" 16" and 17.5" wheels available.
You can get High Traction tires from Coker for the 17.5".
I converted mine to 17" for better tire selection and went with a General Altimax Artic for plowing snow. I don't anticipate putting a lot of mileage on them so they should be fine for the summer as well.





17" conversions on the rear with 16" temporary rollers on the front. Sold them to clemdaddy.

I have no power steering, I think skinny tires might help with parking lots

Used to turn in parking lots only when in motion with 39" x 10" tires on my old 62 K10. It's hard on the original steering box with the wider tires.

actually it is harder on the frame and of course some boys may not be able to turn the steering wheel unless the truck is in motion
