I have a 56 3200 that I'm going to keep the stock suspension on it. I was wondering what wheel and tires sizes everybody is using with the stock suspension. Also what backspacing, and are you running different sizes front to back. The truck has stock wheels(I think) with 235/75/15's on it now. I tried doing a search and didn't really find anything.

yes, those look like original wheels - the backspace on them is what you need, and that size is OK - I have 700R15LT's on stock rims on my 3200, a little harsh for some being real truck tires, but I use it for truckin .... don't see why you'd want different sizes front/back .... all depends on what you want, looks or function

I'm running 30x9.50x15 C range tires on mine. They're mounted on 15x8 Chevy Blazer Rallye wheels with a 3 1/2" backspace. No rubbing, and it rides pretty good for being a C load range tire with the HD suspension option.

I have the original rims on my 55 2nd 3200. I like 215/75 light truck/SUV tires.
