235/70R15 on a 15 x 8 rim

Entertaining the idea for the front of my '87. The truck already has good tires on it. Anyone running these? Opinions?

I have decided on 275/60R15 on 15 x 10 on the back. I'm not crazy about the skinny front, fat in the rear look. Any pics or opinions wanted.

sorry they are crappy pics and the truck looks like garbage, it has since then been lowered all the way around and got new rims and tires and cleaned the paint up a little

Nice man, so no issues with the drop you have? My truck sits similar to yours at about a 4.5" drop upfront.

Mine will hit the inner fenders if I hit a big pot hole or bump if I come in a little too hot. If I ease over them im fine though.
