tire question
I finally picked up some decent wheels for my 83 C10 but 2 of them need tires. currently they have 275/60/15 on 15x8 eagal wheels. Im planning to do a 3/5 drop in the near future and wondering if i should step down to a 255/60/15 for the front for a little extra clearance but also to help the ride height a bit. Any thoughts? Currently has stockers with 225/75/15.

Re: tire question
A 245/60 is perfect for the front

Re: tire question
This pic is all 245/60/15's, I did have 275/50/15's but BFG quit making them, the 245's are the same diameter but not as wide as the 275's

Re: tire question
Get the tires that look good AFTER you drop it, it wont matter what they look like now if its not staying that way.

Re: tire question
It'll be fine with 275s. I run 275/60/15 on all four corners with a 4/4 drop and nothing rubs.
