Thanks longbox.. I'm wanting to keep my upgrade rims the same width as my current 15" stock steelies.. I was told that if I have a fatter tire I will have a bigger footprint which in turn will lower my fuel economy and also make it a little harder to turn and twist out of parking spots because no power steering.. Also if the upgrade 16" rims are as narrow as my stock steelies it will aid in the visual stock appeal..
So i'm shooting for taller but not any fatter than what I have,,
sounds like the 215/85/16's might be the ticket??
I don't know how wide my current stock steelies are on my 62 c-10.. I can't measure them without taking the tire off.. I'm assuming they are somewhere between 5 1/2 to 6"..?? That's the number I'm looking for..


62 Chevy windshields rock...!!
