Hello ,I am wanting to order a set of wheels and tires like yours for my 63 short step side project.I am in Germany and don,t have the oppertunity to look at other trucks like ours. Would you be so kind and tell me the rim and tire size from your truck? I understand that you have 16,s because of your brakes.Thanks in advance ,I,ll try and get some pics of my project online soon.
Hi, Thank You For The Complement, These Wheel And Tires Took Alot Of Measuring And Research To Get Just Right, I Prefer The Old Skool Look. My Wheels Are From Wheelvintiques.com, When I Get Home Ill Dig Up The Part # And Size, And Post That Tommorrow For You. I Know There 16/7 With The 5 On 5 1/2 Lug Pattern That I Switched To Because Of The 12 Bolt Rearend I Put In And The Disc And Drop Suspension Kit I Put In. The Tires I Had To Order Thru Widewhitewalltires.com, The Company Is Diamond Back Classic Radials. Alot Of People Buy There White Walls Thru Coker Tires But They Dont Do 16" Tires For 16" Wheels Yet. Very Good Companys And Im Very Happy With Them. I Think All Togther They Cost Me $1,300 Or $1,400 Including Shipping. Im Sure Shipping Will Be A Little More To Germany. Ill Get You The Name Of The Salesman From Wheel Vintiques, Hes Very Helpful With Measurments And Getting You The Right Wheel Size For Your Truck, They Also Do The Powder Coating There For $35 Per Wheel So When Your Wheels And Tires Arrive At Your Door You Just Have To Have Them Mounted And Balanced.
Wheel Vintiques Wheels Are A Part #12-670504 16x7 5-5 1/2 They Were $68.85 Each, Powder Coating Was $35.00 Each For "red Barron". The Hub Cap Bullets Are Part#1025 At $23.37 Each. $508.88 Not Including Freight. The Diamond Back Classic White Walls, Website "www.dbtires.com" Are Part #235/70/16/04/100. You Can Email Them At There Website For A Free Catalog. They Are The Db 500 3' Whitewall Tire In The Catalog. Total Price Of $744.00 Not Including Frieght. I Hope This Helps You, Let Me Know If You Need Anything Else. You Definetly Want To Take The Measurments From These Tires And Wheels (which Are On The Websites) And Make Sure Theyll Fit Your Truck. Wheel Vintiques Has A Print Out Worksheet That Will Help You With Your Measurments.
Thanks a heap. The tire size will help alot.I was fairly sure that was the size I needed. I will need to measure the wheels because I have the original axles and drum brakes.I am on the market for a short fleetside bed if you see one worth taking apart and sending to Germany.Thanks again for your time.
I DONT KNOW OF ANY BEDS OFF HAND BUT ILL KEEP MY EYE OUT. THE ORIGANAL WHEEL SIZE FOR YOUR TRUCK COULD HAVE EITHER BEEN A 15" BY 8" OR A 15" BY 7" AND BOTH USED A 4" BACKSPACING. YOULL WANT TO USE THE WORK SHEET ON WHEEL VINTIQUES SO YOU CAN MEASURE YOUR DRUMS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NEW WHEEL WILL CLEAR IT, IF YOU GO WITH THE SAME WHEEL I BOUGHT YOULL BE JUST FINE BECAUSE THEY USE THE SAME 4" BACKSPACING AND 16" WILL DEFENITLY CLEAR THE ORIGANAL DRUMS. GOOD LUCK ALSO CHECK YOUR LUG PATTERN TO. ALOT OF THESE WHEELS COME WITH A MULTI LUG PATTERN. YOULL BE ABLE TO USE THE SAME TIRES I HAVE AS LONG AS YOU GO WITH A 16" WHEEL.
