I know its a oddball size and i take it there isnt much tire there when it comes down to how tall the sidewall is. Or does anyone know how tall the tire is?

The tire is 24 5/8" tall and 10 7/8" wide ...The side wall would be 4 5/16"

-I hope you are not planning on putting this on a full size truck.....

Why is that? Boy that is short tire. Im going to be running ET Street, P 315 /45R16, Radial, Blackwall, tires out back. Trying to figure out the correct size for the front. The ET Streets are 27.2 tall but the 24 inch tall might be a little short. hum hum hummmm.

PS mad skill at giving me specs on that tire size, thanks.

I would try to stick with 27-28" tires. Any smaller looks weird on a fullsize truck.

DO you know how tall a Toyo Tires PROXES TQ P275/45R16 is? WOUld this be better fit? for a 16x8 for the front of the truck? Found it 25.74 should be perfect for the front.

Ive been measuring for this setup for about 2 months. Its a 3/4 drop.
Ive actually seen about 5 or 6 RGV trucks running 17s on the same setup.

You answered your own question...


More so than looks, Its dangerous to have that small of a tire..and would be comparable to 6.xx gears lol...stick to a min of 28" on a FS truck imo

If you read up, i finally realized how small that tire actually is and am going to be running a P275/45R16. Thanks for looking out and you guys have been an awesome help.
Im hoping 26" is fine up front, the rear is a 27.2. Not to far off from 28. I know what you are saying.
