I cranked my t bars down and got 3 inches in thefront on my 86 b2000, single cab.

I'm running lt215/75/15's and would like to keep the height i've aquired. However as one could imagine.. I have pretty bad tire rub left/right.

My question is, What size should I run, keeping these 15" rims. Better yet what are you peeps all running? Thanks!!

if you like your current tire size use a wooden baseball bat and a heat gun. heat up the fender at a good heat and then take the bat and roll the fender out to where u want it.

I am currently running 215/60r15 on the front and 235/60r15 on the rear. Zero rub on 15x7's with no offset and 3.5" backspacing. The only problem is when I go to lower it oops I can't the wheels stick out I would get 215/65r15's all the way around if I were to buy tires again, but I am gonna run 225/55r16s on some Chevy Z71's.

You're rolling on tires larger than factory and you're lowered. It's no surprise you're rubbing. The typical go to size tires are 195/50, 195/55, 195/60 or 205/55, 205/55 if you're running an 8" wide wheel and you don't like the small stretch you get with 195s
