235-70R-15" tires...too small

I have been offered 8" wheels with 235 70 tires monted on them. I now have 235-75R-15's on stock wheels. Do you think these would look too small on my stock-height truck?
Is anyone running this combo? Pics?
Thanks

60's look too small. Most people I've talked to run 70's on thiers. Would push for a wider tire when time to replace like a 255 for a more stout look from behind though.

I'm running 235 75, but 70s should look fine I think.

To small unless you drop it about 5 inches. Thats what I run on the front of my truck.

I don't remember who it was, but someone here with a black LWB 68 just bought new wheels and tires and is running 235/70's. It was stock height and looks pretty good. My truck had 225/70/15's when I bought it. They were a tad small but looked OK.

They will definetly look good enough until you can replace with a slightly larger tire in the future.

2 1/2 drop and 236 70 m-15's on rallies.Front they look good.I think If I had PS I would have gone wider and that is the narrowest tire I would run on an 8 in wheel.Hopefully I put up shots of the tires on the truck instead of one of my dogs.
