Widest tire I can fit
I have some 15x8 rallys on my stepside and I currently have some bald 295/50's and I am looking to replace them with something wider.
Here is a pic of how it sits now, not the best but at least it is not blurry    Will some 305's fit? Thanks

Re: Widest tire I can fit
Are you going to buy new (wider) wheels?

Re: Widest tire I can fit
nope sorry I'm fighting the same battle....your going to need to step up in rim width...10's or 12's...then you need to check wheel clearnce...I'm going to a 29x18.5x15 prostreet so I need a 14" wide rally so $$$$$

Re: Widest tire I can fit
Technically a 305 will mount onto an 8" wheel but it will not be optimum. Wheel Vintiques offers a 10" wide truck ralley that would be better suited for anything wider than that 295.

Re: Widest tire I can fit
I had a 325/50/15 on a 10 inch wheel with 4.5" BS, just had to roll the inside lip on the fenders. I wouldn't go any wider then a 295 with a the 8" wheel.

Re: Widest tire I can fit
Wilson, Do you have the 295's in front? And if so is your truck lowered and how?
