I get that a lot from people. But it's true. I've got room in the rear to go 2 more inches but just haven't pulled the trigger. It rides and drives so good, it's hard for me to change.

Thanks CG, I can't take credit for the combo, I have to thank member shearjs and his truck Rufus for this same setup:

I've always loved the rallies, just a tried and true classic look. (Even if they aren't period correct)

Pretty handy site: https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc
I did a lot of research about tire sizes, heights and diameters before I chose mine. That's a handy site!

Hey dad. Those ADs look good with bumper guards and dropped suspensions too. I'm just sayin.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only

I also wanted to run a traditional style 15" rim. I decided on 15 x 8 all chrome rally rims with Camaro style center caps. I am running 245-60-15 fronts and 255-60-15 rear. 2 1/2" drop spindles with 1" lowering springs in the front and 5" drop spring in the rear.

I have always been a fan of Rally's, so when I picked up my Project, I starting looking for a set. I got a set of 15x8's for the front, and 15x10's for the back Wrapped in Hancook 275-60-15s. I got them on my 71 Cheyenne Shortbed

Ttt. Don't forget to list specs for tires wheels, and drop if you are running one. Lift if you are 4x4

I love the stance of this truck and the chrome rallies are classic. Can't beat that look. Nice combination!
