Another tire size question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

red86chevy · 06-26-2005, 08:00 PM

I'v decided to go with the BFG's Radial T/A 275/60/15 on my 86 SB, but I was thinking of going a little smaller in the front and was wondering if you guys had an opinion of what might look good in the front? Maybe a 255/60? or would this look to short? Or 235/70 (same diameter as the 275/60) Or should I go the same on all 4 corners? These are going on 8" Ralleys on a standard stance short bed.

Thanks for any opinions

IMO, taller meats on the back looks good if you can keep the truck level... otherwise it looks redneck (but that can be okay too

)

At one point I ran 225/60R16 on the front and 265/75R16 on the back. The rake was so pronounced it effectively increased my caster angle and made it turn sharper.

go with 235/60/15's on the front, it will give you a 2 inch rake

I like the same all the way around. It looks good, and you can rotate your tires.
