Stock tire sizes for my 73 uncut.??

[Scott 756]

Here is one way to figure metric tire size:
example a 235/75/15

conversion: 25.4mm=1in

width=235mm=9.25in
sidewall height=75% of 235....... 235(.75)=176.25mm
wheel diameter=15in
overall height=sidewall height(2) + wheel diameter
overall height=(176.25/25.4)(2) +15 = 28.88in

So a 235/75/15 is approx. 9.25 wide x 28.8 tall which is close to a 9:50 x 30

Too slow X2

These are stock sized Buckshot Mudders. 235/75-15....Just got them the other day. Hope the turkey on the hood doesnt offend anyone. The season is in here in NC and I take my 72' on the back 40 when I go... Gives a little rugged look to the stock tire plus they seemed to ride good too on the road.

get some 30x9.50's, put them on 6" or 7" white wagon wheels, and put the stock hubcaps back on them. looks like you're running a stock rim and you actually have enough rim to hold that bit wider tire.

these are 31x10.50's on 7" wagon wheels with a 3.5" lift.

What is the back spacing on those wider wheels? Still 3 1/2"?

yep,, 30" x 9.50" looks best on a stock uncut no ift rig...

Those look great! Is that a stock 15x5 1/2?
