Title: Tire sizes and ignition key/spare tire key.
Post by: wretched4one on February 08, 2010, 08:46:44 PM
I'm on a roll..... What size tires can I run on these 16" x 4" stock rims. Just looking for something cheap right now so I can roll it around. And does anyone know if the ignition key fits the spare tire lock in the back?

Thanks, Greg

Some one suggested the tires for the rear of 80'/90's chevy/gm duallly pickups,  I think they are 195 85 16 radials. 
Unfortunately most pass tires in 16 inch these days are the 70 and lower series wide treaded short sidewaalled radials.

for that reason, I sritched to a steel smoothy wheel from wheel vintiques which are 15 X 5.  I am runing 205 75 15 front and 225 75 15 onthe rear of my 46 bizzy coupe.  If you decide to go to after market tires you need to watch the back space. about 3 1/2 to 4 inch is max.

The ignition key and trunk key were different.
