Hi. I've got an 83 monte. I'm looking at getting some 255/70/15 tires. I'm looking for a picture of a g-body with a 2 inch (or MORE) drop, with 255/70/15 (or taller) tires. I've got a 2.5" drop right now front and 2" rear. So just tryin to get an idea of what itll look like. preferably on steelies. but whatever. if youve got pics that'd be awesome.
pic request - 255/70/15 or taller on lowered g-body

not a chance that would work... a 255/70/15, you're lookin at 30.5" tall tire.
even with stock ride hight, 30" would be tight. If you look up Shotgun, he uses 30" slicks on his drag Cutlass... it fit's but it's tight
here is a picture of my 275/60s which are 28" tall
with a 2" drop, you'd be lucky to fit 28" tall tires without trouble. I would suggest looking at 255/60s or 255/50s
or if you want a meaty look, they make a 275/50 which I believe is 27" tall

Are you thinking 255 is the height?....255 is the width of the tire, the 70 is the height, 70% of the width....
it sounded like you wanted the 255 thinking they are taller tires. The width does affect the height of the tire but only marginally.
I think "othtim" is wanting the 255 so that it doesn't extend out underneath the lip of the wheel well there :idea: The 275 is wide enough to sit directly under that lip. Then you have to Joe Dirt your car to get it to not rub

it looked to me he was talking about finding a tire tall enough to sit up in the well.....
