I doubt they will fit well. I have 15x7 mid 70's Rally wheels with 235/78 tires and I had to adjust the stops on steering knuckle to keep the tire from rubbing on the drag length. Wider wheels/tires would be even worse. From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com

RE: [old-chevy-truck] 6 volt vs 12volt wiring

2008-10-13 Thread Hanlon, Bill (ISS Houston)
6 volt system wiring is more than adequate for 12 volt conversions. The wires could actually be made smaller for 12 volt systems, but why bother? All lamps need to be replaced with 12 volt lamps. Any electric temperature gauge needs a Runtz. Gas gauge needs a Runtz. Clock needs a Runtz. Radio

My 12 volt '57 GMC sender (same part number as used on 55.2-59 Chevy trucks) is a 30 ohm unit. Converting to 12 volts does not inherently change the procedure listed below. If your gauge has not been modified for 12 volt operation you need to place a 12v to 6v reducer on the non-sending unit
