I think in that pic I had the 275-60-15 out back with the tiny 225-50-15 up front. I have changed front tires to 225-60-15 and they look/fit much better. The rims are 15x8 with a -11mm offset. I am hoping to get new rims before winter hits or early next spring. I am going with Weld ProStars with a 15x7 (4.5'' backspacing) up front and a 15x10 (6.5'' of backspacing) out back. I will be keeping my current tires til they wear out and the current fronts look good so that size will remian no matter what. I want to go wider and taller in the rear though, the 4.10's really tach up quick with a 28'' tall tire.

I'm runnin 3.73's with 275/60-15's in back on 8" wheels due to not bein able to find 295/60's or 315/50's in anythin but a drag radial:mad:..

I've seen a truck on a car lot here that has 315/70-15's that's a huge tire, 32" tall and WIDE, but can't find them anywhere either..........I've called all the tire suppliers around here to no avail...:icon_confused:

Yeah, getting up in that size range seems to mean a drag radial any more. Doesn't really bother me though, I'll go with one of the street legal ones. I don't drive my truck as much as I use to any more so they should last for several years. I'll need the grip anyway once the motor is in.

I do remember running I belive a 275-70-15 when I had my first Ranger. That tire was HUGE. I am sure I would be unhappy with the sidewall flex it had now.

Here is an old school shot of my truck. First time taking a night shot, this was back in April of 99.
