8X15 RALLIES ALL AROUND tire size - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**zicc1835** · 04-12-2018, 09:12 AM

I am going use my 15x8 rallies all away around on my 69 .I want the raised white letter look . I have looked at older posts and still am not confident im going to choose the right size and end up being stuck with tires that rub I have a shortwide or fleet side bed 4-6 drop with a 68 rear which is slightly narrower than the 69-72 . I want to be as tall and wide as possible without the rub

thanks for helping
Jess

I would do a 255 60 15 in front and a 275 60 15 rear.

Because, Uh, my name is Dave, and uh... I like to party.

**Boog** · 04-12-2018, 03:14 PM

Thats a nice size combo. I have 255/70/15 on 8” rallys all around with 41/2” and 4” drop.

Thats about the look my 31 1.50 and 11.50 15s give my truck.

**Smitty** · 04-12-2018, 04:56 PM

Posted a picture of my truck on the before and after post on 3/11. I’me running 8” wheels. 2/4 drop. 255/60/60 front and 275/60/15 rears. My 2 cents.

Jeff's72C10* · 04-12-2018, 06:43 PM

I need to find me a set of those wheels for my truck.

68Gold/white · 04-12-2018, 03:22 PM

P275-60R/-15 works.

**clay68c10** · 04-12-2018, 06:59 PM

I had 15x8 with 275/60’s front and rear on my previous 68. It was lowered about 2/4ish.
Worked well and I was able to rotate tires as needed. I will definitely run this setup again.
Pics are in my profile.

**3757chevy** · 04-14-2018, 12:20 AM

I am running 255-70 rear, they are taller than 275-60 and only 1/2" narrower. I am blackwall out cause they didn't have 245-60 for the front in the brand I have on the rear anymore . I did not want two different brands showing.

**3757chevy** · 04-14-2018, 12:23 AM

I have ran 285-70 before without issue.
