Widest front tire size

What is the widest tire we can get up front without getting radical? I have heard of 255s is anyone running wider?

I had 15x10s with 295 50s all the way around on my truck with a 3 in front drop with no rubbing issues but it was temporary. I didnt really like it anyways

Re: Widest front tire size

I run 275/60s on 15x8 all the way around as well, (Cooper Cobras FTW), and I have a terrible turning radius, but that's not because of the tires. Mine is lowered 2" all the way around and I don't rub at all. They will fit fine

Re: Widest front tire size

I'm running 275/60-15's on the front as well. That's to look proportionate because I'm running 29 x 18.5s on the back. I have a 5 inch drop on the front and it is absolutely no issues with an 8 inch wide wheel.

Re: Widest front tire size

Thanks guys. I like the look of fat tires all the way around plus it helps handling.
