Re: Yet another tire size question please

'69 short step leaf spring truck. 2 1/2" spindle disc conversion and 2" springs in front. DJM flip in the rear netted 7". I'm not a fan of how 20" rims look on these trucks and went with 17's.

235 55 17 in the front on 17x8 zero offset (4.5" backspace) wheel and 275 55 17 on the rear on a zero offset 17x9 (5" backspace).

On a stepside truck this is about the biggest tire you could run with that much drop in the back. I like how the wheels tuck and the slight rake this netted.
