I run a 255/70/15 rear, on a 8" wide ralley wheel(rear)....fronts are a 225/75/15, on a 6 1/2" van ralley. Its a nice combo, & the fronts clear easy. My old truck does not run inners(steel tilt clip). My thinkin says, you are about right on the height on the rears....but not wide enough(go 255/70). Up front, you need to step up on the tire(225/70 or 225/75 should work), but you may have to tuck em in a tad(6 1/2" rim). crazyL
