[QUOTE=hewittca;7556848]Mine has 15" wheels... for now. They are 8" wide 6 lug wheels with the original dog dish caps. I don't know enough about these yet to determine if they are factory 8" wheels or if they have been widened to 8". Tires are 275/60r15 and the truck was lowered about 2" by heating the springs (previous owner's handiwork).

Hmmm. That pic looks like it could be used in a chevy truck brochure back in the day doesnt it?
The 8"rims and big tires look good on it

That looks really nice with 70 series on the front and 60 series on the rear. I was thinking the look of the sidewalls would be off a bit when mixing them like that. Excellent combo!

According to a tire size calculator online, there's only 0.3" difference in sidewall height, with the 60 @ 6.5" vs the 70's 6.2".

I get that a lot from people. But it's true. I've got room in the rear to go 2 more inches but just haven't pulled the trigger. It rides and drives so good, it's hard for me to change.

Thanks CG, I can't take credit for the combo, I have to thank member shearjs and his truck Rufus for this same setup:

I've always loved the rallies, just a tried and true classic look. (Even if they aren't period correct)

I did a lot of research about tire sizes, heights and diameters before I chose mine. That's a handy site!

I also wanted to run a traditional style 15" rim. I decided on 15 x 8 all chrome rally rims with Camaro style center caps. I am running 245-60-15 fronts and 255-60-15 rear. 2 1/2" drop spindles with 1" lowering springs in the front and 5" drop spring in the rear.

Ttt. Don't forget to list specs for tires wheels, and drop if you are running one. Lift if you are 4x4

I love the stance of this truck and the chrome rallies are classic. Can't beat that look. Nice combination!
