Anyone running 16" wheels on lowered truck? If so what size? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in the middle of doing a 87 crossmember swap on my 1966. I'm adding 2.5" drop spindles with 2" drop springs. The rear will have 4" drop springs. I have a set of 16 x 8" steelies that I'm going to use. I'm looking for tire suggestion size. Also should I go with passenger or Light truck tires.

Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the input Ricky. That's the size I have on there now. I'm looking to go with something smaller.
