Wheel size/drop question

Will 275/60 R15 work with a 3/5 drop? I've been wondering for some time.

I would say no . I have a 4/6 drop. I run 235/60/15r with stock rally wheels on the front. I tried to use the 275/60/15r when I lowered mine but to no prevail. I have alot lot of trouble with rubbing still on sharp turns. 275/60/15r will work in the back.

I think ocbaud has tires that big, with more drop. Hopefully he'll drop in and let you know.

Tyler, you should really read my sticky.
With a 275/60 15 you can SAFELY run a 3/5. You seen my truck, the tires on my truck are basically 275/60 15's (Same OD as my tires)
