15 inch tire and wheel combos only - Page 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

25 years and still looking amazing, that's something you don't see very often.

**davischevy** · 05-30-2016, 02:06 PM

ThIs G78 15 Goodyear Power Streak has been on this wheel under this truck since 1989. When I built the truck the Goodyear dealer found me 5 NOS, G 78 Goodyear tires.

This has prompted me to think that I may go back and dig out all the Polaroids from the late eighties and do a build thread on this truck.

**72 Super** · 05-30-2016, 02:16 PM

[QUOTE=davischevy;7609146]I figured Boog would be disappointed if I didn't post my long bed.

235/75/15 tires on 7" wheels with 2/4 drop.

I finished this truck over 26 years ago and after all that time, the rear of the cab had settled, but I have replaced the cab mounts since these pics were taken.[/QUOT

Very nice truck! Doesn't look like it has been done 26 years.

**davischevy** · 05-30-2016, 02:36 PM

It's got a little over 33,000 miles since I restored it.

That is one awesome looking truck!

7 inch front 8 inch rear

15 x 6, 235/75/15 if I recall correctly. Wondering (out loud in my own thread) if I should keep the raised letters, go white wall or all black. You can hardly see the letters and maybe I like it that way, who knows. G, I can't wait to start driving this thing again.

**samkost** · 06-28-2016, 05:00 PM

My 72' C10, sandblasted wheels, stripped paint/polished center caps and new after market trim rings

**Already Gone** · 06-28-2016, 09:34 PM

Might as well throw mine in there. Small hubcaps and white rims were on the truck when I bought it and I added the P01's. Tires are 235/75R15's. Its funny how the different position of the sun and time of year changes the paint. The CList pic ( white bumpers ) was taken in Sept/Oct. and the other pic in mid February.

7tee · 06-29-2016, 05:01 PM

Mine are 255/70R/15 on 15"x10" wheels...

SIXTY9CST · 10-13-2016, 01:18 AM

What is the front/rear drop on your truck?

**Elliot949** · 10-13-2016, 08:47 AM

Fronts are 15x8 with 245/60's and rears are 15x10 with 295/50's

**RodnRudy** · 10-13-2016, 04:25 PM

Here's one more. 15/ 6 1/2" front with 5 1/2" drop, 225/70 tire and 15/8" rear with 7" drop, 275/60 tire. Still looking for trim rings.

70short · 10-13-2016, 04:37 PM

Elliot949 Very awesome looking truck. How did you get the white walls? I'm running 295 50 15's and would love to have that size in white walls.

Thanks Man... I really appreciate that... We are just getting this 6 year build completed...

You can get them here at Diamond Back Classic Radials... http://www.dbtires.com/

TwoFiftyShifter · 10-13-2016, 07:27 PM

I have found that the 30x9.50-15 tire looks perfect on a ln 8 inch rim. I think it would most closely resemble 255/70-15 but a bit taller and narrower.

big mike71 · 10-13-2016, 08:01 PM

I just put mine back on. 255/60 on the front 275/60 on the rear. Name: 20160903_193618.jpg

Bringing this back up. Seen quite a few tire and wheel questions on 15 inch combos lately, maybe this thread will help.
