Tire Suggestions

['87shorty]

Ok I have these old school cragars i picked up a couple months back. I like the way 275/60/15 fits on the front set of wheels which are 8 inches wide. Now the rears though are 10 inches wide and the 275/60/15 on those look to small they look like one bump will make the tire fall off. What wider size tires are there that would look good and even with the height of a 275/60/15. I know there is a 295/50/15 but those are too small. Any suggestions guys?

This link my help you out, but unfortunately it doesn't look like there is a tire in between the 2 you have mentioned. To use the 295/50/15 on the rear, you may want to go with a 275/50/15 for the front?

Looks like the 275's are about 26.10 and the 295's are about 26.75 .. there are many 28" to 30" diameter tires that would look good.

I'm confused, why is a 295/50 too small? That's what I'd have suggested.

ok i found some m/t's that i like but dont know if they will fit good with a five inch drop they are 30x12.00r15LT tires sportsman R/S tires... what do ya think

[VegasBruce]

A thought, are the 10" rims going to tuck inside the fenderwells? If they fit the 12" tire would look good in there.

I think with those you should measure them, and check the date codes. Mickey Thompsons website doesn't list a tire that size. http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...em=SportsmanST

I have the 325x50x15 on mine... but then again it is a stepside, and they fit just fine.
