I see some post saying 215/85/16 tires can be put on it but the local tire people say that the rims will be to narrow ? i know they are roughly 4.5 inches wide. What do you guys think? and what did you guys do? im on a tight budget i'm just trying to get her out and pound some pavement like it should not darken the garage  | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 88 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 88 | The shop manual for my 1952 half ton chevy shows two options, 6.00-16 front and rear for the 4200GVW model and 6.00-16 front and 6.50-16 rear for the 4800 GVW. GVW is shown on the vin tag. I put 215/85R 16 front and back on my stock wheels. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 15 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 15 | so they will work on the stock rims? the 215/85/16 thats good news considering i have 3 good new rims and i have to figure out which one is the best for the 4th and spare. is that what other people have done 215/85/16 on the stock rims? | | |
