The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 56 3200 will these wheels and tires fit?

Hi all getting my 56 tomorrow trying to line up some wheels and tires so I can roll it around once it's here. Got a line on a set of 15x6 and 15x8 steelies with 235-75-15 tires. 2" backspace. Would put the 8s in back and 6s in front.

Thanks!

I had 15x8 with 235/75-15 front and back on my 58, it was close but they had 3 1/2" back spaceing. So the 2" back space should work ok for rolling it around.Larry

Thanks Larry! What was close, tire to fender or tire to steering/suspension?

The tie rod has about 3/4" clearnce with the rim edge and tire. I've just switched to a set of chrome smoothies with a little less offset running 215/75-15 on the front and 235/60-15's on the rear that work real good. I went down on the heighth of the rear tire to help out with the gear ratio in the rear. I'm still running the 3:07 gears in the rear. Larry

oh good info, so I should have slightly more clearance on the inside with the 2" backspace. Man I can't wait to actually get my hands on this truck. It was supposed to come today but it's been delayed to tomorrow.

Just be careful at how wide a tire you put on the front. These old trucks don't seem to like a lot of tread width on the front.Larry
