It mainly comes down to offset of the wheels and with the 15x8 rallys, they may. He recommended either a 245 or 255 on the front.

He did also say that disc brakes does widen the track slightly in the front.

Sounds like I have my plan to go with ECE stuff.

Here ya go bro! 275/60 on a 15x8 wheel with a 3.5" and 6" drop.







They'll work but it's going to be tight! You'll probably also be happier if you clearance the lower control arms like Ken said that he did his. I knew I was going to upsize wheels so I just dealt with the scrubbing. If you have your front wheels rebalanced with the stick on mag wheel weights that go up higher and not on the bead you may not have to clearance your arms. This is what Chuckles did with his and it seems to be working out for him so far. His front tire is also smaller but I'm not sure of the size. You can PM him or search his posts. His ID is 72Bluz, There may or may not be a space between "72" and "Bluz". His drop is the same as mine.







I'm about 2.5-3 hours north of Atlanta. Just give us a holler before you head this way!
