1965 chevy short step half ton
Currently running 235/75/15 on the old original white Steele 6 lug rims, like the way it sits.
I have a set of 15x8 6 lug 10 slot Oem rally's from a 73-87 GM pickup
according to "tire rack" database information I received during a call to the order line they say the 235/75 will only fit up to 7" rims and that I will need to use 235/70 for proper fit on an 8" rim.
Could someone elaborate on this protocol?
If the two widths are the same at 235 why shouldn't the 235/75 work on the 15x8 rims ?
I like the way the truck currently sits with the 235/75 tires and would rather not loose the roughly one inch in height on the 235/70 tires.
Did not really want to go lower.
Thanks for the advice
