Well you beat me my 68 SWB it had 33*16.5*15s on 15 * 8 rims The turck sat stock height and I took a torch and removed the inside lip and flared the inner fender well to clear them.

The 275/60/15 are 28" tall. 325/50/15 are also 28"tall, just wider and will fit on 10" wheels. The 295/50/15 also will fit on 10" wheels but they are 27"tall.

on the 2wd f100 I use 31X10.5X15 on wagon wheels an all four, with no problems, it fills the wheel fully, but I would need to check my back spacing for I can't remember it. :hmm: I know the fronts are different than the backs on my truck. :hmm:

Your truck looks great! I love it. :)

I only got 12"x16.5"s 32" across. Gotta lift the front a bit. They don't
like dips.
