Does anyone know what the biggest wheel and tires that will fit under a stock fendered 1951 chevy 3100. Standard width rear end? thanks

My 1 ton has the same fenders as your truck, and the tallest tire I would try is an 8R19.5, about 32 or 33" tall

I ran a set on my truck for a while and liked them.

You may not be able to fit them on a 1/2 ton, depending on where the wheel is placed in the opening up and down, not sure if it is the same as the 1 ton. Also you won't find any 19.5 wheels to bolt to your hubs.

A 31x10.50x15 is about the biggest that will fit without rubbing, you might be able to get away with a taller narrow tire like Grigg says, if you keep the section width no more that 8-9".
