Tire size options.

Post by samdog1966 »

Hi All. I'm a longtime member, infrequent poster.
I am replacing the old chrome smoothies on my 66 F100 with stock 15 x5 wheels. What are my options for tire sizes for these wheels. I was thinking 235x75x15. Any ideas? What was original size? Looking for a stock look. Thanks, John.

John, my Ford Facts book lists a 5K gvw [ as standard ] 6.50x16
4200/4500 7.75x15
4800 8.15x15
YOU have to do the metric conversion :mrgreen:

John found this chart, looks like 215's , prolly go a bit larger 225's?/235's like you said.
