Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 128 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 128 | I have a 1945 GMC 1/2 ton pickup that is coming close to completion. I am looking for any recommendations where to go for my wheel/tire combination. I am looking for a vintage wide whitewall tire, and a smoothie, or steelie wheel, with trim ring, and moon cap. I know of Coker, and Wheels vintiques, but am looking for a good comparison to these on price and quality etc. Any comments appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 586 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 586 | I use Scotty's D&E Tire Service in Riverhead NY (631-369-3109).They have years of knowledge and will work with you.They are on the other side of the pond(Long Island Sound)from you.Give them a call.

We can get Goodyears in white wall bias, and can get the wheels from American Racing. Just make sure to emphisize that you heve a Chevrolet truck, some times they send rice truck wheels that have the wrong offset for a Chevy.

Mugsy, what size tire did you go with? I am looking for a 6.50 - 16, with a wide whitewall. I did not see that offered, so I sent them an email. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 734 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 734 | I've got a '65 3/4 ton so I went with a 8.75-16.5 Denman blackwall.
Universal's got Firestone's and Lester's in 6.50-16.
