Anyone able to point me in the right direction for 2 matching 19.5's for the front? Thanks guys![img]https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...84679BF-ECC6-48F1-AC97-589EF5611926.jpeg[/img] Attachments 4A44F23D-9F89-4BE4-8650-9F8D5B0D5E92.jpeg (234.66 KB, 124 downloads) 1957 Chevy 3800

I looked and here’s one where they converted to 19.5’s as an example. https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1347038/new-tires-and-rims.html Phil Moderator, The Engine Shop, Interiors and Project Journals 1952 Chevrolet 3100, Three on the Tree, 4:11 torque tube Updated to: ‘59 235 w/hydraulic lifters, 12v w/alternator, HEI, PCV and Power front Disc Brakes Project Journals Stovebolt Gallery Forum

Ed I had a '72 K10 Chevy that had 16.5's on it. They were 6-lug. I believe the '84 GMC 3/4 ton I had also had 16.5's but they were of course 8-lug.

Nothing new on the farm! Hit the nail on the head! 16.5" will fit front but need larger diameter inside the wheels on the rear to fit over the large diameter drums. Have seen newer dual wheel turned out & run as a single on the rear, some real creative folks!
