To much tire?
Do you think this looks good? I took my driver side 31/10.5 r15 off the back and put it up front. I had a 235/70r15 up front but don't like all the room above the tire.
This fills it up a bit and maybe I won't have the itch to lower it now. The last pic is with the small tire. |

Re: To much tire?
I think it fills that wheel well up better and looks fine. As long as it's not rubbing over bumps or at full lock, it should function as well!

Re: To much tire?
Looks good. Lots of sidewall = better ride.

Re: To much tire?
Looks great! Now lower it on that tire and it’ll look even better

Re: To much tire?
I think that looks great with the 30's all the way around. (Much better than the 235's up front!) I've been trying to decide between 30's and 31's on my own C-10, so those pics help me visualize what it looks like with that size.
Just out of curiosity, how wide are your rims? Quote:

Re: To much tire?
I just got a set of 15x8 chrome wagon wheels and a set of Goodyear wrangle 31x10.5x15, this gives me hope that they’ll fit on my c15 GMC wig worn stock springs, worried about rubbing in the front, what do you think?
