question about 1970's tires

[smitty2]

The tires in this article (below) look to be 30"-31" in diameter. Were there any tires similar to these in the 70's (tall & narrow, not the wide fat tires) that were 33" and would fit factory rims? Also these rims look to be wider than most factory rims of that time. I like reading about and looking at old photos from the 1970's of chevy 4x4's. Where can I find more? Thanks

I tried to post a link but this site wont let me. It's at the 73-87 site:
77k20 article. Could not post photo either, sorry.

a 9.00r16 is like a 34 and pretty skinny for a 16 inch wheel.

7.50 X 16 is usually around 32" high. they will fit most all factory 16" rims. You can still buy them
