Re: best tire combo 66 c10 with 15" rims?

I love the low profile! Is the front crossmeneber near the ground? Is it a daily driver?

But I still can't figure out why people post stuff giving other members the impression that some 'old' thread shouldn't be posted in. Personally, I like it when members post in an existing 'on topic' thread. - Keeps information consolidated.
Besides, an 'old thread' can still have currently useful information.

I have 15x8" wheels, 275/60 on the rear, 245/60 on the front.

9" on the front, especially if it is lowered might be a tad too wide to clear properly.

Re: best tire combo 66 c10 with 15" rims?

I have 15x10 with 295/50 all around, but I'm figuring I'll have to go to 15x8 when I put discs up front.
Looks like 245/60 will be perfect.

Something else to consider on that line of thought is; as the archive continues to grow, the interaction of the members seems to decline since we increasingly just "post a link and move on". I fear this will lead to a general lack of interest as we slowly evolve from "discussion forum" to "reference library".
