8X15 RALLIES ALL AROUND tire size
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

Re: 8X15 RALLIES ALL AROUND tire size
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.

Re: 8X15 RALLIES ALL AROUND tire size
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.

Re: 8X15 RALLIES ALL AROUND tire size
Jess, those wheels look great, with the beauty rings. Did you polish them?

Re: 8X15 RALLIES ALL AROUND tire size
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.
