What size tires?
To the owners of the trucks pictured on this thread: What size/ type tires are you running on these trucks I think the look is great. not too big and not too small.

tires
Michelin LTX AT LT235/85R/16's on ochre/white 72 cheyenne. These are stock GM 8 lug 16" rims which were sand blasted and painted back the GM white again. I beleive they are 6.5 or 7" wide.

I believe they were originally 6.5x16.Later on they were 7".These trucks would have come with 7.50x16 rubber on those rims.The 16.5s were shorter(8.50s)and wider.Too small in my opinion.The metric equivelent these days to the 7.50 is the 235/85x16.If you want to keep the look,but go for more beef,255/85s look good.They`ll still fit unless front springs are tired.No pics at the time(soon),but,I`m running the same set-up as Cheyenne10 on my Highlander & 9.75x16.5 OEM-type/Factory caps/12.50x16.5 rubber on my SierraGrande,a hybrid-stock look.These trucks were available with 8.25x16.5 rims(K/20)&8x15(K/10)to fit bigger 9.50-10.50 tires.

Mine don't have stock hubcaps for its model , but i think they look pretty good . They are late 70's and early 80's model type caps . My tire size is 285/75/16 on factory , powder coated 16x6.5 . With the 4.11 gears i ahave the larger size tires are better for myself . My truck has a 4 inch suspension lift as well . Nice trucks guys !

You guys will correct me if I'm wrong here, . . . . . . But, . . . .
Didn't MANY of these trucks also come with 16.5" wheels stock. At least that is what my research has shown me. A while ago I was in the market for a nice set of original steel wheels for my 72 K20 Super, and had a hard time finding 16" wheels compared to all the factory 16.5 wheels?  Darren

Not sure about the 8 hole 3/4 ton wheels but there was a 16"x 6" 6 hole wheel that was an option for the 1/2 tons.

8-lug Ford 16" wheels look even better and they will accept our dog dish hupcaps. They are wider and deeper.
75 series tires, like 265-75-16 are a wider tire, yet the same height as 235-85-16. |

Everytime I say to myself "remember it's a beater truck". You guys go and post pictures like these. Those trucks are amazing. I want my truck to look like that.

16" wheels/questions
Imdarren;
You may be right on 16.5" wheels, not sure I've seen a glove box option sheet for 3/4 ton showing 16" wheels. Also the 16.5" tires are harder to find in variety of sizes and more expensive, the 16" wheel size has several choices of tires. Ours are off of a 73 and up GM truck and so are the hub caps with gold centers. The 69-72 16.5" wheels took the same cap only they had blue bowtie centers and the center was an "outy" not an "inny" like our gold bowtie caps. As for the hub centers, as far as I know the 69-72 chevy/GMCs had blue hub knobs stock, the gold ones came out in 73-7x and the red ones were for the fords. But my idea was on restoration fo a stock ochre/white truck teh gold hubcaps and hub knobs fit PERFECT!! As for my 3/4 ton blue/white suburban in the works, well use your imagination for now!!

Gentlemen, thanks for reminding me of the "classic" in 67-72 GMC/Chevy trucks.
  Stockton Wheel offers rim widening services for those folks who would like to mount wide tires on stock style rims. Before this thread, I thought I'd go with forged aluminum rims, but now I'm waffling between alum and widened stock rims with caps. Keep 'em coming. As we're shown these stock style pics, let's compare opinions on tire/wheel combo asthetics. I think that the stock rim looks we've been presented call for blackwall tires only. The white letters distract from the stock look by bringing undue attention to the tire brand, vice the stock rims. This is especially true for HOTFUN. Comments?

The different colors do mean something, you have red, yellow and blue. Blue on early GMs and I think the yellow was in later years, red was on the fords.

4x4poet,Let`s not go there.No offense.We all have our opinions.But,all these trucks are awesome.Tires can be flipped & balanced for under $100 in less than 1 hr.We could run another thread on this,but let`s just keep the pics comin`.Lookin`good guys.I like the lift w/285/75x75s.Gives a tough look w/o looking modified.Kinda like a K/30 look.I have powdercoated 16"ers waiting a new set of 285s(probably WranglerMT/Rs.
