Need tire size help. See inside

[nele22]

All,

I am installing a DJM 5/5 on my 69 short bed fleet this weekend. I currently have 255/70/15 on the truck. I am sure those will be too tall.

I have a set of 15x8 with 3.75 back spacing (-19mm offset) that I am installing as well.

What size tires should I buy? Same size front and rear? I need to get these picked up today or tomorrow so the help is appreciated.

It all depends on how you want the truck to set when you are done. I am a guy that likes some hot rod style rake. My suggestion is 275/60/15's and 255/60/15's. As you can tell I also like as wide a tire as I can get too. Those size tires will fit your 8" wheels and wear properly .

That's my .02 worth .

I dont think your 255/70/15's would be too tall for the back , but probably would be for the front. I also really think that size tire looks stretched out on an 8" rim.
