    Hello I was thinking that if a 255/60/15 will fit, what about the 255/70/15 on and 15x8 rim.

    I like the tire to go up in the finder well with out the jackup look.


    255/70/15= rim 7.5, sect width 10.2, tread with 8.3, Dia 29.1

    255/6015= rim 7.5, sect width 10.2, tread with 8.3, Dia 27.1

    are they to tall to?

    I think 29" may be a bit too tall. Clearance issues with the bottom corners of the wheel openings will likely arise with a tire that tall.
