Tire Recommendations Wanted

[John Young]

Yeah, no conscientious tire shop would mount 275s on a 6" rim. You can see the original rims in my signature...

Edited;
Here's what they looked like after a little polish and elbow grease...

This thread is awesome! I’m just finishing my rebuild and have the same rims. Planning on polishing them up and going with these tires. Where did you get the new center caps? Thanks!

Those are the original ones. Just be careful when buffing/polishing them since they're plastic with a thin coating of shiny stuff.

Personally I think the newer OE replica wheels look pretty sweet on the 400s

These are what I have now…I like the ones you have much better!

Got the new sneakers put on yesterday. Ordered smooth center caps and will polish up the wheels!

Have you formed an opinion about your new tires?

Yes! I like them very much! I haven’t had the opportunity to drive them a lot yet as I’m still in rebuild mode. But they feel good so far.

I went back and fourth because ultimately I would have liked larger diameter wheels & tires. But, the wheels look great and I think will look even better once they’re polished and have the new smooth center caps.

The combination of the 2” lowered rear suspension, wider (beefier) tires and raised lettering gives it a classic muscle truck look.

I’m very pleased and didn’t spent another $1,000 or so for new wheels!

Thanks for letting me know.
