Tire Size on 15x8 w 2-4 Drop? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What tire sizes would you all recommend on a set of 15x8 rallys with a 2/4 drop? Hopefully some of you are running this set up still and didn't move onto the plus size models....

I believe 255/70/15 all around will work okay .

275/60/15's on the back on a 15x8... Fronts are only 7" wide...

BTW I am looking to get some 18/20's lol.. .so This ride will soon leave the 15's in the dust lol...

My truck is currently lowered 4.5/6 (I know lower than your request), but I wanted to give you some sizes to go off of.... Currently running 15x7's and 15x8's w/ 235 75R15 (not my tire of choice, but they're on there).

I'll post a pic of before the 7's and after the 7's.

I am running 275/60/15's on 15x8's all around on my 68 with a 3/5 drop and I have no issues at all.

Can you post a pic?

I think 235/70R15 will work good but the ideal would be 255/70R15.

The 255's have 3/4 inch more footprint and the sidewalls will be about 3/4 inch higher between them which will fill in the wheel well just right.

I got some pics today of my 68 with 275/60R15 on 8 inch rally wheels.
