Tire size ?

My 70 SWB 2 WD has 255 70 15.

Whats the largest STREET tire that should fit with standard Leaf suspension?

I am thinking of a 275 60 15.

Re: Tire size ?

Step side or fleet?

Get away from 15’s and many many many more choices. 235 55 17 on front of my short step and 275 55 17 rear. I know some guys have 285 on rear but with 7” drop on mine from leaf spring flip and step side bed that’s pretty much the limit.

Fleetside allows for much larger tire.
