Need some wheel/tire help

[89OBSeast]

This is my 89. Stock height, 15x10 with 295/50/r15 all the way around. Looking to fill up the wheel well a get rid of the lip a bit (as much as I love it). I'd like to keep the wheels I have here but am curious what size tire will work best on 15x10 to fill in the well. No clue on the backspace. I think I've seen some 275/60/15 that I think will do the trick but I'm not sure. Any help is appreciated, and apologies if this is the wrong place to post this question. New to the forum.

I have no useful input, but sweet truck! I dig the 90's look with the ground effects and the visor. Paint looks great too.

there is a 1.4 inch difference in diameter between 295/50 and 275/60, so figure 3/4 of an inch more tire in the wheel well. I don't think that's enough, but you might.
Truck is super clean too, not really my style, but a real nice example of the look.

Thank you, I’m going to take that into account and try to get an idea as to what it’ll look like on the truck. I hear you about it not being your style. I’d like to eventually remove the step rails and I have a simpler front valance from lmc that needs to go on. Appreciate the compliment and the help!

Thanks! Paint could use a little touch up, plenty of nicks and dings but you can’t see em doing 60.

Bout the only tire anymore is a 275/60. Not many sizes for that rim anymore. Could lower the truck some, 2/4 drop with either size would look good. I had a truck like that years ago, but not that nice!!!

Welcome and nice looking ride!

I don't know about 10" wide rims with 275/60 R15s? Here's my 88 with stock 15X7" rims and about a 2" drop in the rear. I could go lower though on both front and rear

Dig it! I personally don't like em slammed all the way to the ground. Love it when they're a little lower in the front than the rear. Yours looks great, nice and even. From what I've heard a 275/60/15 will work on a 15x10 but I should probably look into it more.

They probably will fit, a 275 tire is 10.827" (275mm/25.4 mm per inch) wide so, you'll pretty much have straight sidewalls.

Awesome truck... I would leave that time capsule AS IS and roll it till the wheels fall off!!!
