8 Ralley wheel ??
 

Will the 8" ralley wheel fit in front with a 275/60/15 and lowered 4"? I'll be loweing with a 3" drop spindle and 3/4 cut off the spring. I know I'm going to run into clearance issues with the 3" drop spindles and the 8" ralley wheel but nothing a lil grinding of the lower control arm won't solve. But will I run into tire clearance issues with the tie rod ends or wheel wells?

And oh yeah pics if ya have'em

Thanks in advance, as I know that someone here has been there done that.

I'm running a 3 spindle and 2 springs with 8 rallies with no problems at all.

With 275/60?15 tires in front?

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

I just installed my 3 inch drops from springtech and I'm rubbing on my caliper and tierod mount.

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

275/60's will rub...at the top of the inner fender. I learned this on my '86 back in 1990. It has 3 in spindles and 1 in. drop springs.

I think I may have to clarify my main question. Will the tires fit, 275/60/15 on 8" ralleys on the front?

I'd think someone would have been curious enough to find out before me.

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

hahaha... to clarify..

I had the same combo... 8 in rallys, 275/60's and 4 inch drop... yes they rub on the inner fender every time you hit a bump.

Damn I hate that answer. So it's a smaller tire, or less coil. 255/60/15 may be?

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

i ended up going to 245/60's but 255's may be okay too.

I'm running 275/50/15's up front and they rubbed the inner fender until I aligned it with slight negative camber and rolled the fender lip. With 3 inch spindles you may or may not have to clearance the lower control arm ( I didn't have to). I did have to smooth the caliper ridge and the top of the spindle to clear the wheels. I think the 255's would work better with less issues. Check some of the drop threads here in the search function to see some of the trucks with that combo.

I did it on a 4" front drop. If I hit a dip at speed it would rub the inner fender. Other than that it was ok.

I see a neigbor of mine has 245/60/15 on Anson slot mags wheels but the tire appears small on his truck. His is lowered with all springs, heated at that. I'd sure would like to know if 255/60 would work with this combo.

I was tire shopping yesterday and everywhere I stopped they wanted to list price me (reach in my pocket like I was born yesterday with birthday money). Les Schwab wanted $125 each for chinese tires, $4.50 for a valve stem and $15 for a mount and balance on a bare rime cash and carry.

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

3inch spindle with 3/4 of stock coil cut.. on 235/75/15 like 3 inchs from inner fender to tire

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

i really like the 255/60. this is a 4.5'' drop up front with no rubbing issues what so ever. sorry about the blurry pic, i was filling up when i read this so i took a cell phone pic

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

Perfect! Thanks Joe. I just got back from a tire shop and picked up two for the front. Are yours on Ralley wheels? It will be just a few weeks now before I can put the lowerig goodies I've been collecting, but I'm sure glad to realize they are going to fit. Pics to follow later tonight or tomorrow of course. Time for :mm: now.

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

yeah no problem man, yes they are rallies, painted black. i am running running 275's in the back, i am really considering a 255 in the rear with a 1''spacer. the 275 just looks to tall for me.

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

255/60 and 275/60 thats the way it's going to Rock:devil:

I'll be able to have time to put the lowering goodies on I've been collecting after I finish $16k worth of home maintenance/upgrades moma want's done YESTERDAY!!!!

I feel soo PW lol

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

Nice man, I really want a white truck. That's going to look great with the drop

Re: 8 Ralley wheel ??
 

It will fit, I'm running 255 60 on 8 rally on the front with bell tech spindles, and one coil cut. And 295 50 on custom 11 wide rally on the rear, with de-arch rears, shackels and hangers, and no rub
