Will this tire fit?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I will soon be installing the drop kit/disc brake kit from ECE 9036770/ 9026570 on my 67 c10
I am wondering if the tires I have now, P275/60 R 15, 6 lug, will fit. I know there are some issues with tires fitting on the front end With disk brake kit/ drop spindles.
At some point I will convert to five lug but hoping for now I can work with these tires/ wheels!

You'll probably have rubbing issues in turns and bumps once the drop spindles are installed. The 8" wide rally's should clear the spindles, mine did but mine is a 72...

What size tires and wheels do you have and is the 72 different than the 67 on this issue? I’m not exactly sure what size wheels I actually have either

Tire size and style is personal to some extent, and practical to another. IMO, the 8" wide rally wheel is too wide for the front, and a 265 is too wide as well. I think a 235 width tire on the 7" rim perfect for the front and a 275 on the 8" rim in the rear. You are stuck with the wheels for now, so think about a 235 70 on the front and a 255 70 on the rear. That is a nice combo for a dropped truck I think.
