Re: tire size question
I have 255/70/15 on the rears, on an 8" ralley, & 225/75/15 front on a 6 1/2" ralley. my old truck is dropped & bodydropped.... http://community.webshots.com/user/hotrodhorn Im sure the 285's would not work for me......maybe on a stock height truck, but I think 255/70's would really be pushing it on the front......

Re: tire size question
I have 295/50-15 on 8" out back and 275/50-15 on 8" on the front. They haven't rubbed yet, but I still don't have the body completely lined up and no inner fenders on the front.

Re: tire size question
Low69CST,
I couldn't open your pics on your website. Can you post them?? I have 15x8 ralleys, not installed yet, but I was planning on running 295/50/15s in the rear & 265/50/15s in the front with a 4/6 or 5/7 drop on a '69 Suburban. |

Re: tire size question
I ran those on some 7" wheels with no problems. Truck was not lowered.

Re: tire size question
I know of a guy up are way that is running them. They fill the wheels nice, but other than that I won't see the truck until car shows start again.
