Re: 15x8 rally's
for stock ride height (now) or if you know you want same size wheel/tire all the way around, recommend 255-70-15 all the way around - these are tall tires and fill wheelwells nicely.
if you know you're gonna lower it, then I'd stagger and go with 275-60-15 (rear) (i.e. wider, but still tall enough) and 235-70-15 (front) i.e. narrower and slightly shorter (clearance if you need it when lowered) although I'm pretty sure someone could confirm on here whether a 255-70-15 would have interference problems on a lowered truck. Avoid narrow 60's (too short) and 50's period. (i.e. 275-60-15 is a tall tire, so good to go - but DON'T run something like a 235-60...) |

Re: 15x8 rally's
I agree with Jock-o. although mine is a 65, I have BFG Radial T/A 275/60/15 on Ralleys in the rear and 255/60/15 on front, but I will change front to 235/70/15 so the tires are the same height and fill everything out nicely.

Re: 15x8 rally's
275 60 15's on 15 x 8 rallies in the back.
215 70 15's on 15 x 7 rallies in the front. This combo gives a nice rubber rake to a lowered truck, imo. I am running this set up with a 5/7 static drop.

Re: 15x8 rally's
I ran 235-70's on my 15x8's, up front. I ran 275-60's on the 15x10's out back.
I currently am running a 16x7 on my GMC and running 255-70's on all four, so I can rotate them. Having different sized tires on the same size wheels, prevents tire rotations. When I replace the tires on my 16's, I'm going with a shorter, i.e., 60-series, tire up front. Yeah, I know....tire rotations going by the wayside. However, the visual aesthetics are an issue with me.
