235/70/15
too big for a 94 on a 5/7 drop?
now on 20s looking to get something for the winter. found some ralley wheels near by for decent price. 250 with tires. tire size. 235/70/15 from 60 c10. need to know if i will have problems. or should i keep looking ? i have stock rallies. think they are 7in from 97 but need tires. so my debate is, buy tires for the ones i have or go with the 8 inch wheels from old c10...hope they don't rub or mess up fenders until next year. just need to get thru winter. don't wanna spend 250 on whees and tires, then 4+ on tires. suggestion |

Re: 235/70/15
For a while, my old '93 ran a 235/75/15 on the factory 7" aluminum wheels when I dropped it 5/8. When I later switched to a set of steel wheels, I bought new tires for the front in 225/70 & 235/60 for the rear. Not sure on the 8" rally with 235/70. If it will, you may need to roll the fender lip (or trim it).

Re: 235/70/15
It'll rub in the front but the rear will be fine. I'm slightly smaller overall diameter in front and I rub on the bigger bumps that fully compresses the suspension. Not sure why everyone wants such skinny tires though? Ooops just noticed its just to get threw winter. Good luck!
