Tire size for 15" wheels
I have an 83' C10 just bought black 15" rims. 15x8 front and 15x10 rear. I'm going with a 4.5/6 drop. What would be correct tire size? Any pics would help gain an idea.

245/60 front 295/50 rear looks best to me with that rim choice.

Re: Tire size for 15" wheels
3.25in bs will push it out .75in...might be close but not 100% sure it wont rub. 235/60 is a slightly smaller option you could use or even a 235/70.

Re: Tire size for 15" wheels
I have a 4/5 drop, flip kit on the rear and 2 cut coils on the front, you should be okay with the front 3.25 BS, but the 10's with a 4" BS will probably rub on the back with a 6" drop.

Re: Tire size for 15" wheels
Think a 275 on rear would work
