TWO Questions (so far)

[Stepside]

Anyone know what the correct (original) wheel size was on a 1984 f150 Flareside?
i want to put back the original 15in. wheel and the little Dog Dish caps.
the truck has disc. brakes (may or may not matter?) 5 /5.5/6 inch wide?
Anyone able to de code this Buck Tag?
I have more questions but as i understand the rules i have a Two Questions maximum per post

I can't help with the buck tag, but you might look at your left door post for the vehicle certification label. It will show the tire/rim size.

I have an 84 parts truck here that was a short box styleside that shows the OEM tire size to be 195-75-15 and the rim is shown as 15x5.5

I also have an 82 parts truck that was a long box styleside and cert label shows tires size as 205-75-15 and rim size of 15x5.5

This squares with a measurement I took off an old stock rim from a half-ton that was 5.5" wide.

Tim...Thanks for your response I was thinking 5.5 wide but with the disc brakes i wasn't sure?
The Door Jamb de codes as it should ...this truck is all original except the dumb ass stereo (hack up the radio
bezel job) the truck hasn't been messed with. I just was interested in the Buck tag info just because it's still
with the truck.
I was thinking of running 235 75 15 tires because that is what is on the truck now and the speedo seems
accurate.
again thanks!

I've run 235 75 15s on half-tons since '77 and they've all had disc brakes up front.

With regard to the Disc. Brakes
I was thinking more about the Wheel Size/offset

 

[flareside_thunder]

your offset won't make a difference...it's the size itself that does...too small a wheel will rub the rotors...but factory was 15 inches.

I have just noticed that the warranty tag on the door jamb said
5.5 (everyone knows real trucks have 15 inch wheels!)
