I'm new to this so bear with me.
I have a 77 B200
I've obtained some old school slotted 15" aluminum wheels.
The rear wheels are 11" wide. The front wheels are 9" wide.
what size tires would fit these?
Thanks
Jack

Is this the width of the rim, side to side? (Rim width is measured between the bead flanges.)
Rim widths are usually even numbers when the get to be 8" and up.... i would guess you have 8" and 10" rims.
If so you should be able to use 245/60-15" on 8" rims up front.... Thats what I have.
275/60-15" will fit 10" rims on the rear. (It might be possible to go as large as 295/50-15" on the rear.).... I have 255/60-15" rears on 8.5" rims.

295-50's are an easy fit on 10" wide rims. I have 275-60's and they almost aren't big enough.

I ended up putting Dunlop Qualifier 245/60/15 on the front and 275/60/15 on the rear.

They look great. Thanks !!!
