Tires and rims
I found these for sale they are 15x10 295/50/15 rears and 255/60/15 fronts on 15x8,s.Now I know the front tires are a little bigger then the rear but i dont think enough to notice but i only plan on lowering about 2 inches from stock so i wondering if the rubber is too small.It,s a very good price on the tires and rims though and they have never been installed on a vehicle but no good if the rubber is unreasonably too small

Re: Tires and rims
Those would be sick on a 2 inch drop!! If the price is right I would grab em. The difference would not be noticeable. and the rears would be nice and fat!

Re: Tires and rims
[QUOTE=cochino12;3146272]I think they might look a little small on only a 2" drop but thats just me, I'm not a big fan of too much gap between the tire and the wheel well. I have 295's and about 7" drop on my blazer, IMO I would get bigger rubber.
I picked up some 2 inch drop eibach springs and was planning to just lower the rear accordingly for now as thats all that money allows.the rims that are for sale are what i am looking for but planned on 17,s maybe someday but these 15s are such an awesome deal right now.I am a little old school so I dont really care for the real low look.I dont mind a 4/6 drop in which the tires would be a better fit then but with 15 inch rims would 15 inch rims rub with 2 inch spindles ?.I know the rears have a 5 inch backspace but not sure about the front |

Re: Tires and rims
Here is a good side view of a 295 Cooper. I think this is about a 2/2 also. The front is a 235/60 though.
![]() I changed them, because I thought it was too short. You are right about that front tire being taller, and I do think it might look funny, but I am real picky about that kind of stuff. I do like the wheels though. And heres a thread I posted awhile back that should give you all the info and pics you need. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=313474
