Tire recommendation???

I'm going to be running 17x8 wheels on my 65 but am at a crossroad on what tire to run!!! 225-45-17 235 or 245-45-17.. I'm afraid the 245 will be to wide and hit the bedsides and would really like pics of these combos.. My truck is bagged so it ticks the wheel a bit in te back..

Re: Tire recommendation???

I'm running a 295/45/18. With side to side movement going around corners the tire kisses the bubble on the rear tub. 1/4"

Guess the wheels are 18" not 17's.. So that works well.. Thanks. What backspacing you have

Re: Tire recommendation???

4.5" with the 67/72 rear, fronts should be same only 1" narrower. The tire on front is 235/60/15, new pictures have a 225/70/15 which is taller and closer to 245/45/18 I plan on.
