    I still rekon you should do fat tyres. It would make it look tough as and stretch on 15's with your truck will look funky as fuck imo

      I run normal psi, 35-40 all around.

      I agree with the above though; not only will stretch look wierd on a truck, but trying to stretch on a 60 series sidewall will look horrific.

        These dont look bad...





        I have to stretch in the front though. Im hitting my rolled fenders with my bubble sidewalls, and I want to go lower. My rim comes out to the fender line.

        Im still doing 295's in the rear so no worries on it looking mean.

          Ordered the 215/60/15. It has a max PSI of 51. I figure I'll run it at 44 since my truck weights a lot. I dont want that flat look.

          Almost ordered a 215/65/15 because its still less sidewall then my 255/60/15s, but its almost the same height and I'm trying to lose some ride height with the tire as well.

          The 215/60/15 is only 5.1" of sidewall, so it shouldnt look like ass stretched. I've seen 80 series sidewalls on old Bosozuka cars and they looked fine, to me at least.

          -------------------------------------



          This is the look I dig. 15's, wide with a stretch, not 18's and 20's. Those are awesome on newer cars but not old ones like mine or older.

          What you know 'bout rollin on barrels! I'm gonna get my wheels widened by a local shop if its not stupid expensive. Thinkin 15x11 in the front and 15x12 or 15x13 in the rear, something uncommon.

              It's most likely poorly assembled three piece wheels.
