Please help me with tire size.
I have a 69 stpeside and i am getting ready to put on 15x8 front and 15x10 rears. i am also going to lower it 3/5 . my question is what is a good size tire to help fill up the wheel wells and also what am i looking at as far as price for 4 tires.
Thanks...Eric |

I ordered the full Early Classics drop kit. Mine will be 4.5 front and 6 rear. I just went with the tire sizes they showed on their STANCE PAGE.

I put 275/60-R 15's on my 72, i think they are possibly the best tire size for non lowered trucks. But with your drop, you might want to look into 50 series tires (less height). I know that 275 or 295/50 r15's look good
Good luck David

I think a 265/50/15 up front and a 295/50/15 out back look real bad A$$. Just my .02

295 50's with that kind of drop would be my suggestion....there is a tire size calculator on my site...what I try to do when looking at tire size is approximate the sidewall (height) and width and then look at what will come closest. I had 295/50's all the way around on my 67 (below...it's a bad picture)
