I have run a 31-10.50-15 on the rear. Good for the hot rod big-n-little look. I takes a little bit more lowereng in the rear but it looks good.

I have the same as longstep70's combo. They are on 8 inch rallys. I'm considering a set of 7 inch rallys for the front though, to make the front tires a tad taller.

Re: running 6 lug rallies rear tire ?

I'm running 235/70-15's front and 255/70-15's rear on mine with a 2 1/2-4 drop.They look good and the truck sets nearly dead level.I wanted just a bit of rake but wanted to stay with the same diameter tire all the way around.
Here's a handy calc to determine mixing/matching tire diameters

Re: running 6 lug rallies rear tire ?

Hey......if you are going to copyright violate me.....at least post that these are the 15x12's with the 15.5 sportsmans. The rear end is quite bigger now.

In micro/nano print, all my pics say that they are intended for home use and any duplicating, reposting or selling is strickly prohibited by local, state and federal law!! lol
