Wheel and tire fitment on 95 GMC 1500???

I'm building a 95 GMC 1500 2wd swb. It want to use a set of Aero nascar wheels 15x8 with 4" BS and 274/60/15 tires. I plan on lowering the truck 2" in the front and 4" in the back.

Should work just fine. I had ralleys 15x8 both with 275/60 and 31x10.50. I don't see any issues with just a 2" drop.

Agreed. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

That'll look good. There is a red 96 or so running around here with black aero style wheels and I think 255/70/15 on it.

Ok, well I checked out my Dad's 454SS this weekend and he is dropped 2/4 and there is plenty of room left. So, 15x8 with 4"BS and 275/60/15 will be sweet!! I'm going to put the roll pan on the back, and a 3" cowl hood. I already have a 9.5:1 355 sbc with World heads, Lunati cam, Edelbrock intake and headers. Should be a real ripper!!!!
