I'd like to get in touch with him. I can't tell if its two-tone or just the light playing games. And it sits just right to me. Thanks.
What size wheels and tires are those? I bet the wheels are 15" smoothies but I'm wondering about the tires? What's your guess? I'm trying to match the look...
Thanks for the compliment! I'm not familiar with tire size numbers so what do you mean by 50-55 sidewall? Whats that make the diameter of the tire in inches?
usually when you see something like 255/55/15 255 is width, 55 is sidewall height, 15 is rim. it looks like a 50 or a 55 sidewall profile. They look like black wall BF goodrich radials I had on a car, a few years ago.
It's obviously got a subframe of some kind. Can't run wheels that wide with the stock stuff. The '66 that I built had dropped beams, with a coil cut off the front springs. Nowhere near that low. Mine had 70 series tires all the way around, 235's on the front, 255's on the rear. I'm guessing 235/60/15 fronts and 255/60's on the rear. The only 50 series 15" tire would be a 295/50/15 and they are ALOT wider than the ones on this truck. BF Goodrich's anyway. Great looking truck either way, miss mine! Kevin Ooltewah Speed Shop
the sidewall for instance a 60 profile is 60% of the width of the tread therefore the sidewall gets taller as the tread gets wider even though both tyres are 60 profile. hope this makes sense
Looks like 295/50/15 meats in the rear. They do appear to be a bigger diameter wheel though, but I'm betting the black wheels and lowered stance is throwing off my eyes. Either way, thats a bitchin looking truck.
