Need help with tire sizes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm going with a 4/6 drop and purchasing 8" and 10" truck rallys for my Step. I've been looking at pictures on the site for tires and am not too sure what size I should go. I would prefer white lettering like some BF tires but not sure on the size required for a good look. I don't want a small wheel that doesn't fill the fenderwell area. I would also prefer a larger taller in the rear. Any suggestions before I start ordering?

I dont know with the drop and the wide in the rear but i always run P or LT 235 75 R 15 on my trucks.. if i go any smaller its a P or LT 225 75 R 15. I tend to jack my trucks up a tad as opposed to lowering tho

i have 10''s and 8''s on mine, with a 295/50r15 rear setup, and a 235/60 up front. they are pretty short though, only about 26.5''s tall.
