My stock tires 235/75/15 needs to be replaced. Does anyone know what size tire I can use without any issues. I've read 275/60/15 can be used (454ss). I'm looking for something abit wider and maybe fill the fenders more. What are you guys running? Pics would be great !

275/60's are not the same diameter as the 235's (they are smaller), but they will fit. Your speedo will be off a little. 255/70/15 will fit and are the same diameter as the 235's, and they look good. Sorry, no pic at the moment.

Get 31x10.5r15 tires. They'll fit stock. They're 31" co pared to your current 28"-29" and they are an inch and a half wider.

Another option would be 31x11.5 if you can find any. I've seen guys who run that size, but your choices will probably be limited.

You might be able to fit 32x11.5 on some stock wheels. I had that size on a 2" lift and it rubbed when at full lock in reverse. I had wheels with a little offset though

There are tire size calculator sites on the internet that will help you choose a size that will be equivalent to what you have now in terms of rolling radius, so your speedo and power will not be affected.

One thing to consider if you go much wider is that every tire size has a recommended rim width, and I'd say it's not a bad idea to stay close to the recommendation for safety and performance reasons.

255/70R15's look the best while keeping your speedometer/odometer correct.

here are some pictures of them on my old rcsb.
