I am installing BFG radial rears P255-70-15 (15x8 wheels) and an off brand 205-75-15 front (15x6 wheels). Everyone likes their own look with tire/wheel combinations. I would start with going to shows and when you see a truck you really like, check out the tire combo. Good luck

I have the BFG 275/60 on the back, and was kinda dissapointed. The BFG Has the smallest 275 I have ever seen.
I would go for a 295/70 on a 10 inch in back, and a 265/60...maybe a 265/70 up front, also on 10 inchers.

Big71...Those sizes look great on our trucks. Not too big out back, not too small in front. If you're 5-lug you can use stock ralleys that are the optimum size also w/6.5's from a van & 8's from the trucks.

I like that combo,275/60/15 rear,on an 8" ralley,& a 215 or 225/70/15 on a 6 1/2" ralley....

I have 255-60-15 tires on my truck, with 15x8 wheels. They aren't too wide, and fit the looks of my truck pretty good.
