Also, this site is for old Chevy and GMC trucks. Your question is way off topic and should be in the Greasy Spoon. That is also where you should post your links. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 22 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 22 | I just upgraded to some late model 16x7 8 bolts to get away from the original GM 15x5 split rims (no body wants to touch them in my town). I went with Firestone's Transforce LT215/85-16. Right at 30" tall...the 235s were too tall almost 32". I also wanted more of a truck pattern...these somewhat have that look but also had the very plain sidewalls I was looking for. I'm hoping to make this my daily driver so wanted to go the way of radials.
If you find a tire you like check tire rack or simple tire for the specs on acceptable rim diameter.
