72RustBucket Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I know wheel and tire threads are over done, but I couldn't find a specific thread for height. So question is, what is the tallest rear tire you can comfortably fit in the rear. Assuming stock (but new) springs and shocks, and the helper bags?

MC1of80 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Depends on what's comfortable to you. I run 275/60r15 which are 28" tall. I know some super stock guys run a 30" tall slick. I have seen a guy running the BFG sport truck radial (back in the day) that was either 31 or 32" tall back and forth to the track to cut down the gear so as to drive on the highway. They looked stupid though. Worked but not looks wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course I don't want to rub on bumps during normal driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Why the helper bags? The springs shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC1of80 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 If you want a good ride and not get tire rub you could switch to cargo coils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
