Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T Radial All Season P255/60R15 102T Passenger Tire
 
Will these tires fit my worn out 1968 C10 long bed without hitting any of the fender? Also will they fit alright on my 6 lug rally style rims that came off a square body. The P235/75R15s I got on there right now look awfully small.

TIA

That size of tire and style of 15x8 rim hit the outer lip of my front fenders when hitting dips in the road. I have 2-1/2" drop spindles plus 1" drop springs in the front. I ended up going with 15x7 rims with 215/70R15 tires in front to solve the issue.

If your 29 inch tall 235’s look small then your 27 inch tall 255’s will look much smaller.

Here's a truck I used to own that had 255/60R15 tires all around with stock height suspension.

235/75 and 255/70 are pretty much same overall height. 255 just a tad wider. They should work great on you truck. I was running them on my 70 stock suspension long bed, no issues at all.

Ok, so I'm thinking these?

BFGoodrich Radial T/A 255/70-15 108 S Tire

So what do you all think? Good Lookin Tire, Not Too Outrageous, a little bit bigger all the way around.

Good tire and size for a daily driven truck.
