will 235/75/15 work with my stock wheel or will i have to run a 235/70/15 ? the 235/75/15 are alot cheaper in what tire i am looking at, but i remember djm saying i might be cutting it close with those. i have 235/70/15 on it now and like the way they look alot better, but it is still stock ride height as of now. i plan on getting vintage ww walls , so there is a big price difference.

oh yeah 1990 c1500 2wd std cab lb

thanks

I have a 4/5 drop on mine, and the factory 235's fit fine no problem. However with 5/7 you may want to stick with the 70's as opposed to the 75's due to some rubbing on dips and whatnot.. Alot of guys run air shocks in the rear for extra lift when needed, but my experience with them is they tend to blow out really quick... Personally I'd run the 235/70's in the front and 275/60's in the rear, would look sick with white walls too!
