What size tire with stock K10?

[jlmiller430]

I just got my Chevy K10 and I bought it from the previous owner with a 3 inch body lift kit installed. It currently has 32 inch tires on it and from what I've been able to find, the old tires will be fine if I take the lift kit out. But I just want to make sure that it would still be fine before going ahead with it.

we ran 33's on our stock 86.

32's should definately clear.

I'd think 35's may fit IF you leave the body lift in it.

I have 32's on my stock K10. Fits and looks perfect. They say a 33 will fit on a stock K10 but I think it would be a little to much for stock.

Stock was LT235/70-15
Most of us are running 31x10.5x15 as a stock replacement.

L78x15 or 10.00x15 originally.

or 235/75/R15 and 31x10.5x15 are the closest radial sizes.

My k10 runs 32's, no clearence issues. Man i love the blacktop wine.

"they say" umm no I SAY, we did and it fit perfectly and was NO issue, now ours were a small 33's though I think like 32 inflated or so weight of the truck on them, but most are that same way.

Besides if a 32 fits and works and looks good and aint too much a 33 is only 1/2 difference all around.

Thanks for your help guys. I guess my next project will be taking out that hideous body lift kit. And yeah Driver4r nothing beats the wine of those tires on blacktop

And 31/10.50-15 was an OE Option too. RPO ZUZ.

Not in 1978.

im think of possibly stepping up to 35"s or 37"s around 12-14ish wide, then will really whine, specially if i get deep lugged.(also those tires wont fit to well std. height, im thinking of lifting mine.)

RPO ZUZ would be for the spare tire. XUZ would be the RPO for the front tires and YUZ would be for the rear tires.

So I have a pertaining question. I was taking a look again at my tires and it looks like the tires I'm running, 32x11.50x15, are rubbing up against the drag link in a full turn. I was wondering if using wheel spacers would be a way to solve this problem and prevent it from happening? or what else might be done to fix this problem with about having to buy brand new tires or wheels?

Whats the offset of your wheels? Cause thats the size i have and nothing rubs.

 

[jlmiller430]

I have absolutely no clue what the offset is for the wheel. What is the offset on your wheels?
