what size tire for front 4 1/2 drop ?

[fleetman]

wondering what size tire will work with my front 2.5 dropspindle and one coil cut ( = about 4 1/2 " front drop).
rim is 4x4 truck 15x7 - steel 6 lug
rear is bagged (about 4" drop) _ got 235-75-15's there.

just worried about clearance issue.
thanks in advance for suggestions.

I had the same drop and was running a set of 275/60R15 and had no problems. I have a 5 inch drop in the front right now and am running a 275/50R17 and am not completely sure if it is rubbing or not.

thanks for the reply. well i finally went ahead and put a pair of 235-75-15's in there on the front. 4x4 15 " steel's. they look pretty good i think.and i dont think they will rub..... but one of my springs is a little squirrly and i think it didnot seat well in the LCA. it is a little cockeyed in there and one side is speck lower than the other.(coil cut one revolution)
gonna be happy if these work because i did not want to pop for more tires right now. since i had these 235 75's its all good now.

im running 225/75/ 15s on mine with a 7/6 drop with no problems.i made a carboard template to replicate the tire and disc break setup.
