What is an alternative to 295/50/15s? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Right now I'm running 295/50/15s on a 10 inch wheel with a 2.5/4" drop.

I love the tires because they are real 'MEATY' I measured them with a tape measure and they are a foot wide.

HOWEVER! They are too short and just look goofy.

There is too much room between the tire and the fender.

Do they make a 295/60/15 or something similar. I want the tire to come up to right where the fender is. I dont want to drop my truck anymore AT ALL. I was also thinking of going with some 18s but I still dont know if I can get tires that wide... Hmmm in that since how wide of a 15 can you put on the back of a stock short wide '81 chevy....?

Any suggestions?
