Re: tire size info needed
I have 235/70/15's on front and 275/60/15's on back. Used to have 255/60/15's all around.

The 255-60 would fit a stock height truck using 8" wheels w/o rubbing the fenders.

Re: tire size info needed
I just did this swap....
As I bought the truck with 15x7's and the original equipment 205/75/15's:  After a 2" drop and replacing the 15x7's with 15x8's and 255/70/15's (which as already noted are virtually the same height as your current 235/75/15's.   The 235/60/15's that you were contemplating are 3" shorter than the 255/70's on my truck. |
