Ready to put tires on my uncut 76 with 3.5" sl and 2" sl. I was looking at 32x10.5x15. I was told that i need to run 8" wide tires.. any advice? I was wanting to run at least a 10.5 wide for the look.

I'm running 32x11.5-15s on my uncut 74, with an ancient 2.5" SL.
The fronts used to rub, going through hard and bumpy turns, but they have "self clearanced" over the years.
Wheel back spacing is the key to being able to stuff'em in the rear (not meant to sound dirty:D) Mine are right at 3.75", but I did end up rolling the fender lip up and out of the way.
With as much lift as you have, you could almost cram 35s under it.

My preference would be 33x10.5x15. I wasn't planning on doing much off-roading but I am concerned about the rear fender rubbing. I may mount my wheel/rim and pull measurements tomorrow.

A 15x8" wheel with a 4" Back Spacing will fit that Combo.

The 69, Half Cab LUBR in my Garage has a 3 1/2" lift and 31x10.50s. Add your 2" Body Lift for the 33s and you are good.

So as not to take long, look at my post on Moving the axle back an 1" or so with Ruffstuff perches lots of pics and info directly related.

You should post a pic of yours for him to see. Looks great!

The body work is still forthcoming and I plan on altering my design on the front bumper soon. Then about 5 more years and it will be done!!!
