Will these tires look goofey with my 2.5/4" drop?
Hey guys I have a 2.5/4" drop and I have been searching for big meaty tires to put in the back. However all the tires I have found seem too short with a lot of sectional width.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KUM-2102173/ Brand Kumho Tires Manufacturer's Part Number 2102173 Tire Size 32 x 11.50-15 Wheel Diameter 15 in. Tire Diameter 31.40 in. Section Width 11.40 in. Tread Width 11.50 in. Minimum Recommended Wheel Width 8.00 in. Maximum Recommended Wheel Width 10.00 in. Speed Rating S Load Range Traction Rating A These tires have less sectional width plus they are: .4 inches narrower tread width than the 315/60-15 mickey Thompson drag radial. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3763R/ .6 inches wider tread width than the 295/60-15 mickey thompson http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3762R/ I have 10" wide rallies for the rear. These tires have comparable tread width, less sectional width, more tread, and are taller. Well what do you guys think? Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

i would think those tires would look out of place on a lowered truck being they have more of a offroad look to them

Too redneck maybe?
I'm looking for some nice tall, wide, tires that aren't street legal slicks. These are the only ones I have found. Anyone else want to chunk in their 2 cents? I'm open to opinions. Thanks! Posted via Mobile Device

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Still just haven't find the right tire. I'm looking for a wide tire at least 31" tall or better. Posted via Mobile Device

Lots, Becky loves to have her picture made.
As far as fitment on your truck, if the wheel width and backset is good there should not be a problem. I have 33/12.50x15's on 8 1/2" Americans. No problems at all with rubbing anywhere.
