I picked up a set of 15" rims because they were cheap...but looks like the 235/75R15 is about as tall of a tire as I can find without going really wide. Even then they are a lot different than the 6.50-16 tires I currently have. Does anyone have pictures of AD trucks with the 235/75R15 tires on them? I'm looking for side views as well as front or 3/4 views. At this point I may just keep looking for a couple original style 16" rims. Not sure....

you might look for some 700R15LT ... TF rather than AD, but side ... front

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Is the 700R15LT bias or radial?

I've got 3 solid 16" rims and 2 that are split rims currently. I'm crossing my fingers that I can find some used 15" tires...but I'm also looking for a cheap 16" rim or two...even if I run the 15's I'd like to have the 16's in case I ever want to run them.

Thanks for the pics!
