15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

So I was looking at an old thread and was thinking Id love to see some more pics of our trucks like this. I personally prefer a more "traditional" look to our rides. I know the hobby has moved away from that, but if you have 15 inch rims please post up ... Rim size, tire size, and drop (if you have one).

Here is the old thread I found ... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=350830&page=2

Please keep it to 15 inch ... No "Here are my 17's they are just a little bigger"

Here's mine, fronts are 235/60/15 and back is 255/60/15. I bought it like this but I'm not sure I like the tire size, they aren't tall enough. Kinda looks like PO wanted it lower but didn't want to actually lower it lol

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

15" rallys, I assume 8" wide. 275/60/15 all around. Drop is ECE 4.5/6.25. Front tire rubs sometimes over bumps so I'd go with 255's up front next time.

Here you go...

The blue Super is 32x11.5 on 15" rallies at stock height. Looking to swap to steelies soon.

The orange one was 33x10.5 BFG's on 15" rallies with a 2.5" lift. No idea what it is now, haven't seen it since I sold it last year. Hopefully it's still on the road.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

Here's my 1969 Suburban lowered 3.5 inches front and 2 inches rear with P235/70 all around. I plan on adding one inch lowering blocks in back to even it out a little more.

I needed new rims when I switched from six lug to five and adding disc brakes!!
Don't worry, the body will get done.

What size tires are on your truck? Just trying to decide what to get on mine which is stock height. Oh and what did they cost you? Thanks

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

Corvette style rallye wheels - left them Argent silver with the metal caps - 3
inch smooth rings around 15x8s in the back (275-60s) and 2 inch smooth rings around 15x7s (235-70s) in the front.

Working on it !!!!

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

Fronts are 235/70 and rear is 255/70. Wheels are 15s, wider in the back. My truck isn't stock height. I lowered it 2" in the front and 4" in the back. Radial TAs range from $125-$160 a tire around here. You can find a cheaper tire and get a similar look.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

My 70 with 2 1/2" spindles and 1 1/8 coil cut on front and wore out chevelle springs out back. 15x7 and 215/70s up front and 15x10 with 270/60s out back.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

ECE 4.5/6. 15x7 & 15x8, 215/75/15 & 235/70/15.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

Oh man, what a lot of nice rides. Some great combos out there.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

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.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 

^ 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).
