Tire Width.
What is the widest tire I can fit on a 8.5 inch wheel without going over 26/27 overall height.
I found 275/60/15s but that ends up being a 28 inch tire and ide rather go with 26 because the trans is a 700r4 and the rear gears are only 3.42
any taller and im afraid the s10 may not get up and go like it should.

Re: Tire Width.
so get a 275 50R15 or a 275 45R15
its the middle number that effects the hieght.
first number is width in mm, the second is sidewall hieght pefcentage of width, and then the wheel size.

Re: Tire Width.
Yeah I realize that. I think thats why I can only find them in the 28 inch variety
Mickey Thompsons site said those would work on a 8 inch rim. Probably due to sidewall height.
