Tire Size on Rally Wheels

Im looking to put some new Rally Wheels (15x8) all around. I want the same size tires all away around, due to the fact that these trucks will eventually go to my 2 sons and i want to be able to rotate them. I would like to hear some feed back and pictures would be helpful. I was thinking 275/60/15. Thanks in advance.

Do you think the reason they do not rub is because your truck isn't lowered?

I run 275/60/15 all around with a 4" drop and I don't rub anything.

Re: Tire Size on Rally Wheels

235/70-15 is the same outside diameter as 275/60-15 if you want the same height tire, but like the fat-n-skinny look.

I am looking to sell the wheels and tires that are currently on the truck right now. I like the Corvette/Camaro style Rally Wheels.

275x60x15 - Spent a lot of time researching the forums and looking at wheel/tire threads on my build and this seemed to be the most common tire size for rallies.

235/70R15 on 15x8 up front and 275/60R15 on 15x10 in the rear. I like the look, myself. GTT
