Re: tires

When I bought my truck new back in 83 it had 10" ENKIES all around with the 295-50-15's on it put on by the dealer , a month later I had a 4/5 drop put on it and then I had a bad case of tire rub the fronts really rubbed when turning. a lot will depend on the BS of the rims but yeah you can

Re: tires

My truck (84 GMC SWB) and my son's truck (86 Chevy Silverado SWB) both have 295/50/15s on the back with 8" rims. The front tires are 245/60/15s; that are the same height as the 295 tires. There is plenty of room for a truck that has a 4" drop in the rear and 3 1/2" drop in the front. The 295s wiol not give all of the room you need if mounted in the front, the fenders will drag.

I am also running the same setup under my 91 Silverado with a 2 1/2" drop front and 4" drop in the rear.
