What size tires? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just picked up a donor to convert to 5 lug discs and I also picked up a set of 15x8 Rallies. If I'm gonna drop 2/4 (possibly more if I can find a decent set of spindles) what size tires do you all think I should go with if I want to go with a lower profile than the 235/70's I currently have on?

Is your truck dropped?

a 2/4 drop with rally's, definitely 275/60 in back and 255/60 in front.

If you drop it lower, the 275's will still be fine in the back, but drop to a 235/60 in the front.

That's what I've run on my stuff for years, depending on how low I have them.
