what size tire should i run up front

[pissonNOS]

i just finished installing my disc brakes and drop spindles on my truck this weekend but when i aired it out the tires are hitting the outside of the tire pretty good, right now i have 275/60/15's all the way around so what size should i put up front to remedy this? oh also there 73-87 4x4 rims if that helps

[C10-Driver]

I put some 235/70-15's on the front of my "work" truck (Same height as the 275/60-15). They are a little skinny on the 8" rallies but they are much better as far as clearance issues go.

Since you have 4x4 rims, I would go with some 42" swappers.:lol

How much is hitting? You may be able to fit some 255/65/15's in the front. They are also in the same range you are in now. If not, the 235's should work.

quite a bit is hitting i can tell the bag isnt fully deflated, i think i need a less wide and a lower profile tire if that makes sense but i dont known how tire numbers go

[C10-Driver]

The first number is the width of the tire, the second number is the sidewall ratio or height and, obviously, the last number is the rim size.

The 275/60-15's measure 28" tall.

Here are some examples of BFG Radial T/A's that might work

235/70-15's are the same height (28") but are much narrower.
245/60-15 are not quite as narrow as the 235's but are only 26.6" tall.

All kinds of options with tires... You will probably spend hours searching, I know I have.

The 245's should look pretty good on 8" rallies. It's a good compromise... just a little narrower and slightly shorter which should help with your clearance issues.

Now that you have the dropped spindles, I think the 245's will cause some draggin issues with the lower control arm.

i was kind of wondering about this as well i got my wheel alignment done today with 80PSI and it sits quite high but i think im going to try and put a couple different tires on this weekend and see where were at

235/60/15 front or both
275/60/15 rear
works on a bagged C10 well.
