Tex, that's a lot of rubber INSIDE the fenders. Well done.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only

Recently acquired this '67. It came with the 31-10.50/ 15s. It is stock height and I like the stance - rake. Thinking about going with the same tires on a Crager SS style wheel.

Or, painting the rims silver for now. Any recommendations on paint?

Any idea what the backspacing is on your wheels?

Love this look! I have had some thin white walls laying around for a year that have been waiting to get mounted up... Just have to finish the 5 bolt swap to mount up the 15x8 rallys.

Currently rocking 15s though so I guess I can post too. Love the look of 15s on these trucks whether they're stock, lifted or lowered.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only

Time to go to the top again.

Lets put those classic 15 inch wheels on our classic trucks.

Any newbies with 15's?

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only

15" 8 lug snap ring wheels count?



holding onto them with hopes they're salvageable but likely too much rust

even have the spare, I found it in the quonset hut last summer

im not quite a newbie, but dont post as often as i used to as i got burned out on the hobby for a little while -- but what goes around comes around and now i am enthused about wrenching on my '69 GMC project

But until then - i roll around in this on the weekends -

and its on 15's -- 10" SS's with 275/60's here -- its currently sitting on 15x8's , also with 275/60's though -- i didnt like the way the 10" S/S's protruded a little from the front fenderwells
