'88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Well, I haven't seen a thread like this so I felt like I should open one up, and see how many replies it'll get. This is for both 2WD and 4WD. So post 'em! What size tire and wheel are you running on your '88-'98?

First, my '88 Silverado K1500.

And my '92 Sierra C1500.

255/60 15 Cooper Cobra Radial GT on the front, 275/60 Defender Sport on the back. Mounted on 15x10 aluminum wheels. Not sure what brand, I think they're Ultra or American Racing.

35 inch tall tire, 16 by 8 inch rims.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

I envy you lol. Wish my '88 was that frickin' tall. It might get 32's on it here soon but I don't have money so I'll just crank the t-bars and worry about an alignment later as the truck doesn't go on the road; tags are expired and it's been off the insurance nearly a year.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

thanks man. it has about 6.5 inches of lift, and I just barely trimmed the valance, if it was any shorter I don't think the tires would fit.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

I went through your build thread. A lot of work to make it that way, and it came out pretty damn good.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Yeah if I were to do it again I would get a little taller springs for the front, and get new springs for the rear(I have a 5.5 inch block, and a 1 inch block added to the leaf, and a leaf added to the leafs). I think it looks good were it sits, you can still get in it easily, and the 35s fit(I've never had them rub). It looks tall alone, but if you put it beside a stock pickup it doesn't look as tall, some stock vehicles look almost as tall as it when parked beside them.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

I hear what you mean. Me and my dad put a 3" Skyjacker on his 2000 Z71. 3 isn't that big of a lift, but you can tell it's higher than stock, but it doesn't look that tall if parked next to another.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

If I was going to buy a skyjacker lift I would go more than 3 inch, only because you can get 2.5 out of cranking the t bars(you can get 3 out of it but you'll have a rough ride). Thats just me though. I put a 2.5 block in this one for a while and cranked it, but I knew I was going to do a solid axle eventually. If your not going to go any bigger than that. then its not a waste of money because its lifted and still rides good.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Well, my dad traded his buddy Dave a shotgun for the kit, so I think it was a good deal. Lol

Here's my 94' GMC 6 lug K2500:

255/55/18 Goodyears on 18x8 Eagle 212s. Tires are getting to the point of being dangerously bald, and I'm ready for a new look, so I'm looking for sport/454SS rims with 275/60/15s.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Y'know, I've been thinking of running 454SS rims on my '92, but if I get new wheels for it, I'm gonna get American Racing Outlaw II, and probably a painted 454SS wheel for my spare lol. I don't know why, but I love the look of the AR Outlaw II. That and I inherit the fact that it's my dad's favorite wheel. LOL

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

God I want AR Outlaw II's on both of my trucks so bad. Lol

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

265/75 16 SENTINEL A/T (LOAD RANGE E) They are retreads. Check them out at: https://www.treadwright.com/p-48-265...nel-a-t-e.aspx

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

I just picked them up yesterday on Craigslist for $160 w/out tires. I just moved my tires over today.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Are you having good luck with those? I've been thinking about getting their mud tires for my truck. A little hesitant on retreads.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Both my trucks are used a farm truck. So we are always pulling or hauling some kind of load with them. My dad has run them for years. If you check out there web site the have an article that a off road magazine did about them. I highly recommend them. They tread pattern that I go looks like a bridgestone tread style, but the side walls are nitto grappler.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Well my truck is a farm truck so you're the perfect guy to ask! I'll probably take a chance on them after harvest. Thanks!

Right now it has 255/45/17's in front and 275/50/17's in back. I'll also use 245/50/17's in front when I feel like it/get a good deal on em.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

I had Outlaw ll 15x8 on my 88 and 97 GMCs. Trucks are gone but I still have the wheels with 255/70/15 Coopers.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Went for the Wheel Vintiques 66-series Vette-style 16x7's. Have Yokohama Geolander HT-S tires in a 245-70 size. If I ever replace the fronts, I'm gonna go back and get a shorter tire and a little rubber rake. Fronts are a touch too tall.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

I'm running my painted stock 15x6 steels with Cooper 235/75/r15.

running 265 75r16 on 2002 chevy stock wheels. truck has 2 added leafs and a 2in block in the back. front bars were cranked a little. i have plenty of room to run 285 75r16's which i will put on when these tires wear out. the second pic is when i had older 15 inch wheels 10 wide with 33x9.50 r15. but with the back spacing the rubbed the inner fenders too bad.

Actually the worst side of my truck. Will take a better picture tonight. 275/60R15 BFG Radial T/A's on a 1970's ralley 15x8. Powder coated black with silver center caps.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Thank you guys for reviving this thread lol. I was hoping when I started the thread last year it would run continuously. I guess it worked for a while. Glad to see it revived with new posts. Trucks look good.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Started life with 235/75Rx15 went to 275/60Rx17

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Just replaced my police caps, with a nice set of used Monte Carlo center caps. It actually looks a bit more masculine than the other ones did, although it is hard to see in this pic. (Note to self: Take better pix.)

What is the widest tire you guys have found to fit on a 20x10 rim in the rear with a 4/6 drop? Without cutting anything.

Re: '88-'98: What Size Tire and Wheel are You Running?
 

Nice truck TecRsq, in your signature it says 15x10's. Is that correct or are they 8's? And did you get them online somewhere or off another truck?
