Tire size question

Post by 69rangerman »

Hey everyone,

I've found an outstanding deal on some tires locally. They are 215 70 15's. I have 90's f150 chrome wheels but I don't know how wide they are.

Are 215's too narrow to work?

Thanks for any help.

they wont have that aggressive wide look but they should be safe on those wheels. they are 8" wide right? they should look and work fine

oops i would like to change my answer regis. it will make them look wider at the rims and narrower/smaller toward the tread.

Thanks everyone,

I just can't do it - like the muscley look too much - thanks for helping me keep the money in my pocket.
