Tire Size Questions

So my truck has no inner fenders on front. That said I have read alot on tires and these trucks but need a few answers.

I run a 15x8 pacer wheel info found here: https://www.rimsntires.com/wheelfit.jsp?wheelid=218531


Since I have no inner fenders can I safely run 275/60's on all four corners?
If not what do you recommend?

What is best 275/60 tire like cobra gt's but are there better?

Thanks for any info

Re: Tire Size Questions

I ran 275/60 s on all four on my stepside with inner fenders no problem. Probably not as low as yours though, I think it was lowered 3inch. (8inch rims)

Mine is not that heavily dropped. I am estimating something like a 3/4 or 3/5 drop I didnt do it, it was purchased that way. Same with inner fenders in front was just that way when I got it dont want to add them cause dont have the $$ to spray them to match fire wall or the $$ to buy them and tires.

Never had inner fenders. Drive in mostly nice days (what does this have to do with tire size?) Yes its dropped 3/4 I believe. You can view build thread if you need pictures. Easier rotations dont have to own 2 different size spares....just want it that way.
