I still like them looking like they came from the factory. I know, tonneau cover and 73+ wheels. 1972 Chevrolet Trucks brochure has a Cheyenne Super on the cover with full wheel covers and white stripe tires. Every other truck in the brochure has black wall tires. No white letters.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

I wanted a white stripe like my truck came with in 1972. The ONLY ones I could find were the Toyo 235/75R15. I had never heard of Toyo and was a little apprehensive. But so far, 2 years later and 3 vacations from Florida to North Carolina mountains, they have been great. Smooth riding, quiet and zero vibration at speeds. After I had them on the truck, a friend of mine who works in the rubber industry, told me Toyo has an excellent reputation for quality in the rubber industry. I paid $110 per tire, including mounting, balancing, valve stems and Nitrogen fill.

Wowser!
Awesome looking pickup. I have a 67 that will look similar when done. Amazing what a simple paint scheme can look like when well done!

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

I love 15", love factory steel wheels (wish I had some), and I love white letter, but that's me.

^ That's whats crazy about these trucks... they all look different. Your truck looks lower than 3/5.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

Great looking trucks!

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

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

One more...

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

I love the factory Steelie with dog dishes or factory rally wheels on these trucks. Just looks ol school to me.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

Stock Ride Height 15 x 8 Rally Wheels with Cooper Cobra 275/60/15 on all four corners!

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

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!

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

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".
