Will 245/60/R15 on 15x8, fit on a 66 LB fleetside?
Just got my 66 back on the English roads after 5 years.
I'm after 2 1/2" whitewalls for her and need a hand with tire sizes. I have 15 x 8 smoothies with 4 1/2" back spacing. I'm hoping to fit 215/75/R15 on the front (2 1/2" drop spindles) & 245/60/R15 on the rear (3 1/2" blocks), would this combo fit on with no messing about? I would consider buying 15 x 7 smoothies, 4 1/4" BS if this would work better  Plus i've thought about 20" or 18" mobsteel wheels, but buying whitewalls in the UK for that tire size is a nightmare.

I have 275/60/15's on 8" Ralleys on my swb 65 so yes they will fit I believe.

I have 245/60x15 on 8" wheels on the front of my 64. No issues. I run 275/60x15 on rear. It is lowered 4.5/6. They fill out the wheel wells, but no issues that I have seen.

I think they are a nightmare, anywhere unless you know something I don't. |

I have 245/60/15 tires on 15x8 inch rims on the rear of my truck (short bed). Fits no problem. Lots of clearance. Can go wider if needed.
