what tires for stock ralleys?
I may have to go back to my set of ralleys for a while, since those tires will be a lot more affordable to buy. I've got good tires for the back set (15x10) I just need to remember what I used to run on the front (15x7or8). Seems like it was 225/60R15. The set on the back is 255/50R15 if memory serves.

You can run a 295/50/15 on the rear with a 10 inch rim and a 255/60/15 up front with 8's.

Re: what tires for stock ralleys?
Thanks guys. I'll have a look at what I've got on the ralleys tonight when I swing by the shop. Bad thing is I think I sold off the caps & rings long ago.

Re: what tires for stock ralleys?
Keep in mind I've got to consider clearance on a 6" front drop.

Re: what tires for stock ralleys?
I actually have 275/50/15's all around on my truck with a 5/7 drop with no rubbing issues. But they don't make those anymore. Just remember to put a little negative camber in when you align it.

Re: what tires for stock ralleys?
Looks like I had 215/60R15 up front. Back was 255 or 274, I can confirm tomorrow.

Re: what tires for stock ralleys?
I have a 215/70 on a 6.5" on the front of mine, to give it a little bit of heighth. 255/70 on the rear on an 8" wheel. Scoti is running the same combo on his right now, too. He also has a 6/8 drop (or maybe a little more) on his '74.
