tire and rim info

hey guys it may seem like a dumb question but I was looking at the djm lowering thread on here and William William said he was running 215/70r15 tires on the front and 275/60r15 on the rear are those tires to big to put on my original rims he put 8 inch rims on his f100 after he lowered it and also would that put my speedometer out thanks in advance for your advice brian

The minimum recommended with for a 275/60 is 7.5 inches, max width is 9.5 inches. The minimum width for 215/70s is 5.5 inches, max width is 7 inches.

This information could have been found by reviewing the tire specifications for a given size. Summit Racing provides very good information. Try it.

The speedometer will likely read a hair faster since a 275/60 measures <visit Summit Racing for this information> inches tall. )
