Another tire sizing question
« on: December 02, 2011, 02:01:10 pm »
I'm running a staggered set-up with 15x10 in rears, 15x8 in fronts. Right now, from the previous owner has 295/50/15 in the rears and 255/60/15 in the fronts. Do these sizes sound OK?

     There is nothing wrong with those sizes as far as running them on your truck (it is 2wd right), though I am curious as to why the p.o. put them on, kinda makes me believe he had them laying around.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Those are fine for the C10. The wider rear wheels help make up for the narrow rear track.
