...of a long bed truck withe rallys . I am ordering new BF Goodrich tires for my 77 long bed and would like to see what you guys have . It has had 255/70's in the past but I am thinking 255/60 front and 275/60 rear . It is stock height but i wouldnt mind seeing some lowered also . If you have these sizes on your short bed , post a pic . Thanks, Frank

No pics but, IMO, 255/70 is the way to go on rally wheels--only reason I say this is b/c I still remmeber the first time I saw this combo some 12 years ago. It was at stock height though. . .

Here's mine with 275/60/15's all around. I just bought kumho venture ST's off tirerack for 64 bucks a pop. They seem to be a pretty good cheap tire.

I have not seen one with them, but 255/60/15 sounds too short for the front of a stock height truck. I thought mine looked just about right with the 70s at stock height.

Here is mine before I shortened it. It has 15x8's up front with the 255/60 and 15x10's out back with 275/60. I know its not rallys but it will show you the tire size and how it fills out. The truck is a Big 10 with 2.5" WC spindles and 4" in the rear with the shackle/hanger kit. Hope it helps alittle. I would agree that the 255/60 would look alittle short at stock height.
