wide tire size???
 

Hey everyone! I have an 83 swb with a 96 lt1 & 4l60e trans. I currently have 15x8 rallies in the front and 15x10 in the rear. The rear tire size is 275/60/15. The truck is lowered and the tire tucks a little (had to pull the bed side/wheel wells) I really dont like how that tire size is "pulled" and was wondering if anyone knows whats the widest/lowest profile tire I can get on a 15x10? Also any sizes in between the 275/60/15 and the widest just to check out my options. Thanks and any info will be greatly appreciated.

How low is your truck in the back? Are you talking about having to pull the fender wells so it doesn't rub?

Yes, having to pull so it doesnt rub. It has a flip kit on the rear so I really dont know how low it is. Im guessing between 6 and 7 inches. I just want a wider and lower profile tire. Also the tire bubbles out on the sidewall like its pulled from the wheel thats the reason I want to find a different tire size maybe I can post some pics to help explain what I mean. :confused:

This is my 83 with a flip kit installed, rims are 15x9 with 275/50/15 TA's, a 295/50 on a 10" rim with a 5/5.5 BS should have no problems on the back, in the pic it looks like it would have tire rub but it clears the fender ;)

Keep in mind the 295-50-15 is approx ~1.25" shorter than the current 275-60.

I run a 275/60/15 on mine, but the tire doesnt tuck up into the rear fender, if it did it looks like it would rub

Same tires as Malo83, but no flip kit. i have a shackle drop on my truck.

mINE TUCKS JUST A LITTLE -275X50 X17 WITH A 4 IN. BS. tHIS IS MAX FOR ME --1/2 IN MORE & i WOULD BE RUBBING . iM GUESSING 295 X60 X 15 (IF YOU CAN FIND THEM ) WITH 5 IN BS'ING WOULD BE BOUT RIGHT. oH i FORGOT MY RIMS ARE 9.5 IN (NOT 10) SO YOU COULD DO THE MATH.
HOPE THIS HELPS
