15x7 rallies all around.

BFG Radial TA's. Blackwall out.

Front--245/60R15

Back--275/60R15

I know the specs...the 275/60's are 7.5"-9.5" wide rims. My rims are 7" wide. Have had no problems. Most tire guys will tell ya that a half inch will not make a difference.

Hope this helps.

From 1987-1994, I rolled BF Goodrich 275/60/15s on 10 inch wide wheels on my trucks.

I don't know how many sets of tires I wore out, but it was a few. They work fine.

im looking for good wet/dry traction, but it doesn't have to be any good in the snow, as i dont drive my rig in the snow..

Everywhere i look, i cant seem to find many tires that will fit a 10" wide rim that is 15" tall..

I dont want something much taller then 28 inches or so..

so let me know what you guys have, weather your happy, and what make/model they are.

and pictures help too!

275/60x15 10inch rim 255/60x15 8inch rim

70stroker · 02-20-2010, 01:24 AM

heres 295-50-15 on a 10 inch wide wheel. Best choicein my opinion, unless your truck is not lowered then I think it would be way to short of tire.

djmachinist · 02-20-2010, 10:41 AM

What back spacing are you guys using for the 8 and 10 inch rims? I am wheel hunting right now and do not know what back spacing I need to order. I don"t want to have clearence issues. The Truck is lowered 2 1/2" in the front and 3" in the rear. I plan on using BF TA's, P245x60xR15 in the front and P275x60xR15 in the rear. The wheels I'm looking at are offered in 3.75 and 4.75 in. back spacing. Oh, I have a 1969 GMC short bed with the 6 lug front disc conversion.

Thanks,
Dale

What does "ttt" mean?

I have seen someone post this before, and can't figure out what it means...

70stroker · 02-20-2010, 02:57 PM

To The Top just giving it a chance for fresh eyes to see it.

What back spacing are you using? Have you had any interference issues running that large of tire on the front?

Your truck looks awesome!!!!!

Thanks,

Wootdog · 02-20-2010, 07:42 PM

Firestone makes a real wide tire for the rear. I have P295/50/15s on the back of my 67 C10 stepside. They actually are 13" wide when mounted on a 10" wide rim. Weld Prostars. They are Indy 500 radials. And not too tall.
