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.
