Hello all. Thought I'd get some opinions if nobody minds. I've got a 94 Mazda B3000, 2wd. I'm trying to decide if I want it to look like a stock 4x4 with 255/70r15s or go with some wider tires and keep the street look. If I put the all terrains on, I'd lift it 1.5-2 inches. Keeping the suspension stock, I'd want to go with some 255/60r15s maybe. This would be using some stock 15x7 wheels from a newer b-series (they look just like the 94 4x4 wheels).
Two questions...
Would some 255/70r15 tires be worth it considering the loss of torque? They are 29.1 inches, vs the current 26.5 inches. I have 3.73 gears with an automatic (also concerned about burning up the tranny with larger tires).
Alternatively, if I went with the 255/60r15 tires, they would be 27.1 inches. But I'm concerned that they will rub at full turn. Anybody know if they'll fit? The fitament guide only covers lifts and tall tires.
