Oddly enough . . .... when I bought those wheels (years ago) it was from a company that was in Oklahoma. I'll try & see if I still have a receipt.

I have 275's on 15xsomethings under my 72 havent tried to go any bigger, maybe after these tires wear out

Swbman · 09-19-2005, 04:47 PM

My son has 295's on the rear of his 71 SWB, but there is alot of room where he could go BIGGER

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-19-2005, 05:00 PM

On my old 70 I sold, I ran 15 x 8 4wd rally's w/ 295/50/15 bfg's on them,
this was on a stock bed set-up, no tubs, no rubs, looked pretty wicked.

djracer · 09-19-2005, 11:44 PM

I have these for sale the are 15x10's centerlines with 28.5 by 12.5 mickeys they filled my 71 fleet wheel wells quite nicely 250.00 for the pair!

70c10 · 09-20-2005, 12:36 PM

djracer- why can't they be 6 lug?

. They are a nice size for our trucks!

Was that tubed or all stock? And was it lowered at all? Did they rub?

djracer · 09-20-2005, 11:46 PM

all stock lowered a little and would rub inner fenderwells a little! Not enough to hurt anything.

Jim we can fix your problem I could box up a couple axles and drums for a nice package deal!

Not mine, but there was a thread the other day where someone has 31x18.5 15's MT Sportsmans on a 10 " wheel. I looked it up and the tire has 14.7" of tread width. The recommended wheel was 14-16", but he said it was stuffed under there with only the mini tub

70 longbed · 09-21-2005, 11:45 PM

The thread I referred to earlier is in the parts area, "Pro street setup". CCSRCR has edited his post to reflect 15" wide wheels with those 15" wide tires; all with a mini tub.

70 longbed · 09-21-2005, 11:49 PM

DJ is it possible to ship those tires and wheels? I am interested, but need some dimensions and zip code info to do some calculations, or use my zip 85635.
