I took mine to Less Swab. They will try on tires until they find one you like and make sure it fits correctly. I have heard that many tire shops do this as a service for their customers. Giood luck, John

Terry,
For what it's worth, I have 255/70X15's on 15X8" rims on the back and 225/70X15's on 15X7" rims on the front on my '59 (see my gallery, dated 6/03). The IFS brought the front end down about 3.5" and the rear springs are de-arced about 2.5" for a nice "raked" stance.
Feel free to check it out if it applies to what you're looking to do!

Any suggestions?

Sounds like a plan...I would double check the load rating on that 205/75 to be sure it will carry the load of your truck. It probably will as I used 165/80's on the front of a 32 Ford, but it was a lighter than a truck...
