52 f1 tire size to use?

Hey guys this is my first time using the site. But I have a question on my 52 F1. I have a TCI Mustang two front end on it and a four link with a 9 inch rear end that is 56 inches wide inside flange. What size tires will fit underneath the truck with those types of suspensions anybody have any ideas thanks.

Wheel offsets will affect what tire you can fit. I have stock suspension and with 15x7 zero offset wheels, I am running 275/60/15 on the rear and 255/60/15 on the front.

You need more measurements than that to answer that question. Here is a link to the Wheelsmith site that tells you how to make the measurements.
theWheelsmith.net - Wheel Gemometry

Once you know these you have to determine the size and offset of your wheels. Only then can you tell what size tires fit within the envelope. Anything else and you are just guessing. It can be an expensive mistake.

Rex at Wheelsmith was most helpful to me and the wheels they made fit perfectly.
