what tire combo you guys running on rally's?

I have 8" and 10" Rally wheels and was wondering what combo are you guys running on them? I would like to get some wide ones on the back like 295"s. I seen where some have 295 x 50 x 15 on the rear and in the front they have 275 x 60 x 15 and they say the tires are about the same height. To have 295"s in the back what's a good combo?

If you are fairly low I would suggest 295/50/15's on the rear and 245/60/15's on the front. That is what I was running.

5/7 drop. 5" BS on rear wheels

Re: what tire combo you guys running on rally's?

I am planning on going with like a 4-5 drop, so in front I might be able to get 255 or bigger on there you think? That truck looks good you got there. So are those tires on that truck simiular in height?

They are close to the exact same. If you are going 4-5 drop I would reccomend a taller tire. Like a 275/60/15 on the rear and a 255 on the front.

Re: what tire combo you guys running on rally's?

I found this link to be useful when tire shopping as well...especially with a staggered set-up or when changing to a larger wheel diameter. The "visual aid" was helpful.

...yes, I know that it's from a Toyota forum...

Re: what tire combo you guys running on rally's?

I'm running 8's & 10's and I've got 235/70/15 BFG's on the front and 295/50/15 BFG's on the rear. The front tires are a little taller profile than the rear but I already had them on the truck and didn't want to buy new ones for now. With the front end sitting slightly lower than the rear the differences in the the tires isn't really noticeable because the tops of the tires are slighty tucked under the fenders.

Re: what tire combo you guys running on rally's?

I'm running 15x10's in the rear 15x8's in the front and I run BFGoodrich Radial T/A's 275/60 all the way around. I would've went with a 295 in the rear myself if I could find them in the BFGoodrich but I don't think they make 'em that wide.
