need help choosing tyre size for 15x10
so ive bought some 15x10 slot mags for the rear of my 55 f250. Need some advice and opinions on what to put on them. Ive got 15x8.5 on the front with 235 75 15 tyres that give a 28.8 inch tyre height.
for the rears I have only 2 options really as tyres in these sizes are hard to get in UK, I either go 275 60 15 which has a 28 inch height or I go 295 50 15 but these are only 26.6 height, so I guess I would need to change the front to match.
I would like to have as wide as possible on the back for hot rod look but im not sure if a 26.6 tyre height is too small for a big truck. I have just under 14inches of room between fender and bed so I could go wider, its just finding the tyres in uk. any thoughts or pics of what you guys have done would really help, thanks luke

if I recall the rear tire's looked OK but were a tad narrow for my 10 incher's.

With a 10" wide wheel, I'd go with a 315-335 size tire, but you are going to be restricted to choosing what is available to you. Even here it's getting difficult to find wide 15" tires with the popularity of 18-20" wheels the manufacturers are dropping the 15" sizes.
