The wheels look ok but if that's the right size then that would be a pretty short tire for a pickup , the tires on my Echo are almost that tall .

how tall should i be going?

johnnyrvan · 08-24-2012, 08:34 PM

That wide a tire might have a problem when you turn sharp and rub the frame or fender wells and cause extra strain on the steering box mount on the frame.

I'm sure you meant 275/50/15's but, before you buy, ask if you can try one of the wheels on your front end just to be sure they fit with no issues.

You have nice wheels on it now. Is the wheel change part of a 8 lug to 5 lug swap?
