255 or 265's on 15's.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I am about to pull the trigger on a much needed new set of tires for my 78 lwb/ 1/2 ton. Currently it has what I believe to be factory ralleys...15 X8 and 15X7's...I am going with 295's on the rear and can not make up my mind whether to go with 255/60's or 265/50's up front. I don't want the front end riding high....but I also don't want too short of a sidewall...I would prefer a complimentary size to the 295's...I read elsewhere that the 265's shorter sidewall looked funny....

Any thoughts?
