Tire Size on Rally Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jlo1986 · 01-23-2014, 11:25 PM

Im looking to put some new Rally Wheels (15x8) all around. I want the same size tires all away around, due to the fact that these trucks will eventually go to my 2 sons and i want to be able to rotate them. I would like to hear some feed back and pictures would be helpful. I was thinking 275/60/15. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, A friend recommended 255/60 and 275/60

bbbc10 · 01-24-2014, 02:06 AM

go with 245/60 and a 275/60. 275 will rub in front

Do you think the reason they do not rub is because your truck isn't lowered?

swb85 · 01-24-2014, 12:24 PM

I run 275/60/15 all around with a 4" drop and I don't rub anything.

The whole front end is from LMC except the bumper. Pleased with it for the most part. Fits really well, but came out of the box with some minor dents in the polished section on the driver side of the bowtie.....you can see them in the reflection in that pic.

bbbc10 · 01-24-2014, 05:07 PM

mine rubbed cause im lowered 5" in front I went to a 255/60 an still rubs a lil bit...if I did it again I would do a 245/60

bigd65 · 01-24-2014, 05:15 PM

I have 275/60/15 all the way around and lowered 3/4 and mine don't rub.

bbbc10 · 01-24-2014, 06:25 PM

he looks to be lowered more than 4" in front so he would have rubbing problems

My Black truck is 4" in the front and 6" rear, sitting on 18's. My blue truck is 3" front and 4" rear, sitting on 20's.

kevinr1970 · 01-24-2014, 08:09 PM

235/70-15 is the same outside diameter as 275/60-15 if you want the same height tire, but like the fat-n-skinny look.

bbbc10 · 01-24-2014, 08:16 PM

then you ccan try a 275

I am looking to sell the wheels and tires that are currently on the truck right now. I like the Corvette/Camaro style Rally Wheels.

BruthaMan · 01-27-2014, 12:10 AM

275x60x15 - Spent a lot of time researching the forums and looking at wheel/tire threads on my build and this seemed to be the most common tire size for rallies.

swb85 · 01-27-2014, 11:11 AM

^^^what beauty rings are those and where did you find em? Really like how wide they are.

Malo83 · 01-27-2014, 04:47 PM

Picked mine up from SUMMIT Racing when I ordered my Rallys, JEGS also carries them

Jlo1986 · 01-27-2014, 04:57 PM

I decided to purchase New Rally Wheels (15x8) and tires 275/60/15 Coopers. I will post pics at the end of the week.
