What size tires are you running on your 15x8 Truck Rally wheels?
I am getting ready to install some 6 lug 15x8 Rally wheels on my 1968 Chevy C10 shortbed fleetside.

What is a good tire size to run front and back? Any pics are appreciated.

I'm running 255-70-15 all around. Not really big but they fill the fendewells pretty good.

I’m running 255/60 15’s front and 275/60 15’s rear. On 15x8” wheels. But would suggest one size all around in order to be able to rotate. 2 1/2” drop spindles and 4” lowering springs rear on a’71 short fleet.

Tell us more about your truck. There is a very wide range of sizes that fit these wheels. So fitting the truck is the next question.

Re: What size tires are you running on your 15x8 Truck Rally wheels?
I have built multiple trucks with 255/60/15 TA’s this is my favourite setup. Lately I think I would move to 275/15/60 in the rear though.

Re: What size tires are you running on your 15x8 Truck Rally wheels?
You can fit a lot of tires on that rim. I'm running 33 X 12.50 All Terrain T/A radials on mine, but it's a 4WD.

That is a good 4-way rotation size for a 4/6 drop.

265/75 15 front and 31 10.50 15 rear.

BTW this picture was taken this weekend with the motor and trans out of the truck, hence the nose up.
