Re: help with tires.
Hello neighbor. My Burban has 245-60-15's on the front with 275-60-15 's on the rear. First photo is the old wheels and air bags. Second photo is new slots and static 2 inch drop in the front and rear still bagged.
This thread may help. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=703601

I prefer 275/60 on all 4 corners myself (and you can rotate)

Re: help with tires.
While not exactly your specs, my truck is pretty close.
Closer to 4/5 drop. Tires are 295/50 and 245/60. I chose these because front and rears have the same sidewall height (around 5.8”), even though the width is different. The tires you’re looking at have sidewall heights of 6” front and 6.5” rears. I would think that setup would look very good, nice a full wheel wells.
