Tire size

I am going to lower my 65 swb with the DJM lowered I beams. I currently have 275 60 15 on it. Will these clear or will I need to go to a narrower tire?

They will fit the rear but not the front.

Do you know what size will fit in the front?

225/75-15 or 235/75-15 is a good choice. I run the 225's. You can probably run 70 series as well but if you don't have power steering; the narrower tires are easier to turn.
