Re: 57 tires: what size do you run

Ive got 275 60 15 on the rear and 255 60 15 on the front. Wheels are six lug rallys. The truck is only lowered a little, and everthing will get re done when i go ifs on the front. The front will rub if i go much lower. No problems in the rear since its a fleetside.

Re: 57 tires: what size do you run

235/55/17 front 255/50/17 rear......soon to put 235/55/17 on rears because they will fit in the fenders. 235's on the front because I need another half inch up on the front.
But I ran 275/60/15 all the way around before the subframe... with 1 inch spacers in the rear.
ya gotta love 50 year old sagging springs, If you are patient, time will lower your truck.
