Tire Size...Photos

Getting ready to buy tires for 66 C10 Stepside. As most of you know tire size can make or break the look of the truck. I will be using Chevy 15 x 7 5x lug steel wheels. Trying to decide what size radial will look good. Truck is lowered 2 inches in front and 6 inches in rear. Sits very level.

Re: Tire Size...Photos

I totally agree that the tire/rim package choice can really make or break the way a truck looks. Right now, I have several choices lined up - all six lug. They are not on the truck yet, so it will be fun once I get to that point.

I often forget to reference the FAQ section that Woog has worked so hard to compile. It's a great resource!

Just in case you didn't see the tire section in the FAQ - here's the link. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=379110

Re: Tire Size...Photos

Here is my old C10. 15x7 front wheels with 235/70-15 and rear 15x8.5 with 255/70-15. Had a 3" drop in the front, not sure about the rear (PO did it).
