So, you guys that are running 15x5 stock steelies, what size tire are you using?

I was thinking 215 75R's, but still am not sure?

Pics would be nice too.

That's the size I went with on my truck. They are pretty much stock height. I don't think you can really go any bigger than that.

Wow, with all the buzz about going back to stock steelies, I thought this would generate more interest. Anyway, I have decided on 225 75R15's after seeing some on a friend's truck w/ stockers. They didn't look too bad. I saw a truck at work that had 235 75r15 on the stock 5.5 wide rims and it looked pretty bad, like the tire was ballooning over the rim.
