69 C20 wheel and tire question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gents,

I am working on making a sleeper truck out of a c20. I want to retain a stockish look to it.

The truck currently has 16" ford rims on it but I do have a set of chevy 8 lugs. What is the widest tire I can put on those rims?

I want to retain the ability to run stock hub caps.

thanks

Assuming that you will be buying new tires, take your rim measurements to the store and they will tell you.
