Wheel help/opinions

[CalSgt]

Looking at some wheels for the C10. Most likely 15" AR61's. Thinking about 275/60-15 on the back and maybe a 235/70-15 on the front as they are right at the same size. I have dropped the back with 2" drop shackles and cut 1 coil from the front for roughly the same. Hoping it will fill the back wheel well enough for my liking. One thing that bothers me is the rear wheels inset more that the front. Thinking either 10" back and 8" front or maybe 8" back and 7" front. What are the pros and cons to any of these setups?

I don’t know what an AR61 is but I think your truck looks great with those rally’s

On his thread. "My 86 c10 square" Post #13, pic of an AR61.

Ok, trying to get an idea of how the 10" 275/60-15 might look on the back. Side wall would be a little more vertical on it but I think the depth would be about right. This is the 275 on an 8" wheel off of my Camaro. Bolt pattern is different so I can't mount it but setting up against the studs is close. Only took me 2 weeks because I lost the key to the lugs and had to get a new one.

Here's some shots of my buddy's truck. He had x8s with stock sized tires on it and then put some x10s and 295/50s on the back. So a 275 will be narrower/fit the wheel more squarely but this gives you a fitment idea

Thanks for the pics. That helps. I'm not quite as low so I plan to stick with the 60's. I think the 235/70-15 I plan to go with on the front will fit similarly to the rear with tire to rim width ratio. Should both look pretty vertical. Just need to get some more body work done and then I will order. His truck looks good by the way.

His truck is stock height, I think you might actually be lower by a bit

 

[brooksman9]

Yep. 2" drop shackles in the back and 1 coil cut in the front.

So which wheels did you decide on?

Going to stick with the AR61’s. They will look good against the black.
