Kenny,

the wheels look awesome on your truck - would you mind telling us the specs (width & backspacing) ???

jchav62 · 12-29-2008, 07:02 PM

On the '83, I had 17x8's (American Racing TT II's) all the around, with 255/45's in front, and 255/55 out back...

jchav62 · 12-29-2008, 07:08 PM

On my '73, I have 17x8 Centerlines all around. I have 225/50's in front, they were given to me, and in the rear I have 235/60's that I bought used to get the truck rolling.

evenmadderdawg · 12-30-2008, 02:15 PM

Pics 1 & 2: !5" rusty steel Cragars with 255/60's front and 295/50's rear.
Pic 3: Goodies from Summit, mounted & "dynamically" balanced

Pics 4 & 5: Mitigating Road Warrior look in favor of Craftsman Truck Series look I'm eventually hoping to perfect starting with 275/60R15's all around on Aero 15X8's with 4" backspacing. Ignore the wrecked front bumper, please...

265/75/15 Not sure of wheel brand. They look good at stock height. Plan on lowering 2/4 with 255/70/15.
