Can't figure what size nomenclature I'm looking for so I can price them on the internet. What size am I looking for? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 188 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 188 | you could run 255x60's or 275x60's or go to 295x50's.
Depends how tall you wanna go and how much room you have in the wheel well.
255's are 27" tall
275's are 28" tall
295's are 26.5" tall
If you want a taller tire you might find a 285x70 which is 30.5" tall.
Search on tirerack.com to compare. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 | Thanks, that helps me alot. I'm not running any fenders. These are going on the rears. Now the next question. I want belted tires with maybe a 1 inch whitewall. I guess I'm looking at a 275/60 x 15". Do they make them in that size? If so, where? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 188 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 188 | Now you're reachin'. LOL!! That could be a tall order. Mickey thompson still makes belted tires but not likely with a 1" whitewall. If you go radial then dbtires. com will have what you want.
Or look on ebay. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 | Thanks alot. That catalog is great. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 188 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 188 | Also try coker tire. They have a BFG vintage bias ply in L78x15.
Has a 1" WW available. About 29" tall.
Your rim might be a little wide for them but they'll work. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | 10" wheels will be way too wide for an L78 (235/75/15 modern equivalent). The widest available whitewall is the BFG Silvertown from Coker in a 255/70/15, but it's a wide whitewall.
