235/75R15 Tire Pics Request

Post by 64D100Poly »

Hello, I was about to buy a set of tires, looking into 235/75R15's to put on my 6.5" wide steelies. Does anybody have a picture of their rig with a set of these on it? I'm trying to see how well they would fill out the wheel well. Id go for something taller but with a 6.5" wide rim in kinda difficult to find much. Thank you in advance. :Thumbsup

Simple enough to measure your tire dia and compare to the new tire dia. If the new is 2" bigger, just imagine what it would look like if you add 1" around the existing. Pics of other trucks are quite useless as they likely have different ride heights due to spring sag, susp mods, etc.

Most tire shops will give you a bald tire to use for mock up. Although will likely cost you 20 bucks by the time you have it mounted then disposed of when you are done with it.

Try this site. It allows you to see two tires on rims side by side. Put in your known size and try many alternates. I was able to find a fit for the rear of my 68' that was wider (265/70-15) but same height so the speedometer is still correct. Good luck

OK, so my tires are P235/70R15 Tires NOT 75's. I'm not sure what the difference would be. But... here ya go.
