Hello fellow Bolters. UPDATE : Last July 2025, I finally found my favorite wheels (Aluminum Slotted Mags) for my 1953 Chevy 1/2 ton Panel Truck. A harder size to find 15 in. 6 bolt 6 inches wide wheel. These wheels were mounted on 4 -Zenith H-78-15 inch Tires. So I'm assuming those are the old Bias tires. They still have some tread left and hold air. they are tubeless. They are mounted on my Panel truck since march of this year but the truck is sitting on blocks and jack stands now. Dint want them too sit for a good while ,afraid of them getting any flat spots on them. I can turn the steering wheel all the way left to right and they don't rub the tie-rod ends . Also they don't stick out or rub the fenders in the back either. I think they are the perfect size tires and wheels on this stock truck. Now if I ever want to get Radial tires I have something to go by to show the tire shop. Thanks to all that helped me along the way on this subject. Especially Ron.
