Hey guys. I just put some 15 inch Cragar Baby Moon Wheels on my B. They came off a frontier with meaty ass 225/70/15 tires and they rubbed the shit out ouf my front fenders. Im running 4 inch blocks in the rear and cranked torsions so i lifter the fron 2 inches , put new stiff shocks on the front and rolled my inner fenders. Now it rubs very little and only when i crank my wheel all the way to either side so im good temporarily.
Problem is that with these meety ass tires it makes these 15 inch wheels look bad. Looks like one of those lowriders with the wheels sticking out the sides ( tires stick out the sides 3/4 inch on each side) Eventually im going to run 4x4 fenders on the front to take care of that but in the meanwhile i need a sujjestion on what kind of tire to run.

Im running 225/70/15. Id like a tire a little skinnier with a shorter sidewall but not necessarily a low profile tire. Maybe something like a 195/55/15? Is that a real tire size? Any sujjestion?

Finally , how much wider are 4x4 fenders then the regular ones?

just looks like the rims are wide with to much of an offset

Probably like a 205/60/15 or 195/60/15 would be better. The 4x4 fenders are flared like an inch more I think

Not for sure but im pretty sure they are a 7.5 width. Not sure on the offset. Like i said i got them off a friend with a 99 nissan frontier and they tucked on his truck. Maybe ill go with the 4x4 fenders first

195 would be too narrow... i believe thats the factory width... atleast thats whats on my factory rims... 205/60s should look good...
