SWFL Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 What common ( cheap ) 15" tires fit without trouble on normal width & offset 15" rims? I'm thinking of 195 60 15" for lowered and 215 70 15" for stock height. I'm not worried about speedometer error. Price of the tires is a big factor. '78-'79 620 KC 2WD in Florida for now.

datzenmike Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 195 60 15 is 24.2" 215 70 15 is 26.85" Lowering by tire size isn't really a thing. The difference is a little over an inch and a half gain in drop. Keep the stock tire diameter of near 26". You want cheap? try tires from a wrecking yard. I got a set of 4 that were barely two years old and the nubs weren't worn off. 1 Quote Link to comment
SWFL Posted January 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I should have written that differently. I didn't mean to lower the truck by tire size changes. I was wondering if 195 ish 60 15s will fit a moderately lowered 620 without rubbing. Same thing with the 215 ish 70 15s for stock height. I'm buying a 620 far out of state and driving it back. It's got 15s and I'm thinking of buying new tires for the trip back. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 195/70R15 is only 7.7" wide, so I think so. 1 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I was running 195/60/15's for a while with speedline 15x6" zero offset wheels for a trailer. They fit no problem and no rubbing. I ended up changing them when I scored some 16" Isuzu wheels. I still have pics about halfway thru my build thread. Quote Link to comment
