alright. well the time in finally almost here to pull off those 14" wheels and sad little 25" tires...
found a great deal on some nice 15" chromed steel wheels.
i am looking for some new tires to go with the new wheels since they dont have any...
how big of a tire will clear on a stock suspension setup?? i want something like 28-29 inches? i dont think 30 will clear but im not sure. the wheels are 15 x 8 with 4" back spacing.
the ones im looking at are 235/75 R15 which is equal to 28.9"x9.3"R15 that should fit just fine shouldnt it?

any help would be great im gettin new tires ASAPaid

Just a suggestion But if i were you i would look at aluminum wheels to get away from the heavy steal wheels and rotating weight.

On my truck i have Trooper/Tracker aluminum wheels from a wrecking yard that i picked up for $80.00 with 235-75-15s.

Oh and i do have a full set of alum. trailer wheels i may use or sell these are new unused. I will post a pic of the truck.
