275/60/15's here....
Look very nice.... and I have no traction problems at the track with them
either (pull 1.997 and 1.999 60' times with them at stock pressure of 25PSI
in the rear)
BFG Radial T/As too...
These are also on the stock Rims that come with the Tire and Handling
package... 15x7 or 15x8 i dunno what they are

> I have a 1997 Dakota (sitting at stock height) with stock 15X7" wheels and
I would like to change them to an after-market set and larger tires. The
wheels I thinking of are Panther 15X8 with 5" back spacing. Tire clearance
is not a problem in the rear, its the front that I'm worried about. My first
choice is 265/60R15's (1.9" wider & .18" shorter than stock tires) which
makes the Speedo off by only .39 mph @ 60 mph. Also I have thought about
buying 245/65R15's (1.2" wider & .16" shorter than stock tires) which makes
the Speedo off by only .34 mph @ 60 mph. I want to be able to rotate all 4
tires so they need to be the same size.

should I go with the 245's? What problems will I have if I lower the truck
2" front and rear? Any suggestions on other tire sizes? How about some wheel
suggestions too? Thanks Stan
