'57 Porterbuilt 20" tires
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but the majority of threads I see or for later trucks. If there is a thread I missed, feel free to point me in that direction.
I'm setting up my '57 Chevy truck with the full Porterbuilt suspensioth I'll be using Centerline Smoothies that are being built as a 2 piece wheel instead of their usual 1 piece rim so I can get custom backspacing. There aren't a lot of options for the front because of possible interference with the suspension. I was told a 245/40/20 on the front. Quite a few different options on Tire Rack, although they are all car tires with no light truck options. I was also told 285/40/20 for the rear. There are really no good options in that size and nothing that matches up with a front. Has anyone used the Porterbuilt suspension on a trifive truck, and if you did what tire size did you go with? I haven't heard what they can do with backspacing, and I'm doing the tires and wheels first so I can mock it up with the bed to set the width of the 9" I'm having built. Any suggestions on tires? Backspacing ideas? |

Id probably go with a 245/35 front. 285/40 should give you nice meat in the rear.
Toyo makes front/rears those sizes. And I wouldn't worry too much about one being car and one truck as long as you stick with a good brand tire. |

Any other suggestions for a 29" tall tire for a 20"x9.5" wheel?

Thanks, quite a few choices for that. Any recommendations for a front size that won't interfere with the Porterbuilt front on a 8.5" rim?
