Tire Sizes on Ralley Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jeffh · 02-26-2018, 09:42 PM

I picked up a set of what I call the Chevy pickup rally wheels. A pair 7 inch wide and a pair 8 inch wide. What would be a good size tire to run on them. I've googled around trying to see what size tire people are running on them but not really finding much. Would like to find a picture to see what they look like and then the tire size it is.

I run 235/75r15 Touring tires for highway use. You need to tell us HOW you will be using your truck.

Pictures?

**Clyde65** · 02-26-2018, 11:06 PM

I run 235/70/15 front and 295/60/15 rear

Around town, occassionally on short roadtrips.

slepysal , it looks like you have your front lowered. Do you still have the torsion bar suspension? Like the stance and the tire size..

Thanks I have drop spindle with the torsion bars cranked down a bit. Rides nice no rubbing.

I merged these two into one thread.

Do you have a picture of the wheels?

chevy_mike · 02-27-2018, 02:21 PM

This was my '65 with 235/70-15 front and 255/70-15 rear on 15x7 front and 15x8 rear.

Jeffh · 02-27-2018, 07:56 PM

255 / 275 wow those seem to me to be some wide tires. I was hoping to put something a little more common such as a 235/75 or something on the 8 wides. I am definately on a budget on this project. Also have my 57 2 door hardtop thats in the middle of a ful blown restoration thats devouring $$$. Theres a swap meet on Sunday and I was hoping to find something decent used.
Love the stance of the '65 but mine is a '60 with the torsion bars. I am guessing lowering it a little in the front would be out of the question with the original setup.

Yep. Here is one:

Jeffh · 02-27-2018, 08:00 PM

Good grief thats huge. How do you make it so the pictures come out the right size?
I have this set of four I picked up at an auction awhile back. They are all a kind of lite mint green. Thought they would look OK as is with my original dark forest green truck. Don't have alot in them at all, around $35 and a day of my life standing around at an auction all day. Course I did manage to haul home some other goodies....

I only got two trim rings and no caps so thats something else I will be in the market for.
