Widest tire I can run with a 4" drop and 15X8 Rallys? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have 15X8 Rallys with Western Chassis 2.5" drop spindles and Western Chassis 1.5" drop coils.

I want to keep at least a 27-28" tall tire since the rear will be a 275/60-15 (which is about 27.99" in diameter).

225/70-15 = 27.4" diameter

235/70-15 = too tall = 28.29"

235/65-15 = odd size?

235/60-15 = 26.10" = too short

245/60-15 = 26.57" = better, but still kind of short?

245/65-15 = 27.54" = odd size?

255/60-15 = 27.05" = might be too wide...?
