tire question and pics request

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I am still over thinking my tire decision.  I thought I was set with 235/75/15 (5.5" wide wheels).  I am not excited about any of the tires in that size.  And I want tires that will look like they fit.  
is anyone running 30x9.50 15's?  Is that a realistic option?  is there any issue on the 5.5" wheel?  Any rubbing at full lock? 

Pick of either setup would be appreciated.  

Thanks,

	I have a mounted pair of 30x9.50r15s I can toss on the front and report back on. They're mounted on stock 67 Ford rims, which should be in the neighborhood of 5.5 inch. I don't know that I can accurately judge rubbing at full lock as my front springs and shackles are boogered up.

	Universal vintage tire has several options in the 15" rim size, 700-15s are 30" with a good 'ol skool tread pattern. They would fit the wheel well nicely.
