Almost all tire makers post the specifications of their tires by size (tread width, section width, circumference, diameter, approved rim width, load, speed rating, etc.). Use your measurements to determine the wheel dimensions you want, and then select tire size that will fit your application.

Re: 66 c10 Tire & Wheel Combo with 2.5/4 drop
I use this tire calculator to help figure out what tire size I want and it will show me what tires area available in that size. Also gives you some sizes up and down from what you put in, to help compare.

Re: 66 c10 Tire & Wheel Combo with 2.5/4 drop
trying to mimic this look. this truck has a 3.5/5 drop with 275/40/20 in the front and 275/45/20 in the rear.
i understand having the 2.5/4 setup, the truck will sit up in the air 1 inch higher. thoughts on the tire or wheel adjustments that i need to make.? can i reduce the tire diameter slightly to get the same look? Last edited by Afirehawk1; 12-06-2018 at 12:28 PM. |
