front tire size

[fanofpetty]

Ok, I'm getting ready to purchase tires for the duster, and I definitly am going with BFG. radial T/As. What size front tires are you guys running on the front? My concern is getting somthing thats to wide and end up rubbing on the sway bar. I'm thinking of a 215/65R15 on a 7 inch ralley wheel for the front. ( Already have the rims and they fit fine.) I would guess a 235 60 R15 is to wide??

The 235s would make me nervous.

Both tires are right at 26" tall, 26-26+" is where we start seeing tire fender interference issues if wheel sizing isn't prioritized.


215-65-15s would be my choice between the 2.

ya thats what I thought, that the 235s would be to wide. I was originally thinking about the 215/65R15, with a 26.1 Diameter, but now I'm thinking the 215/60 R15 would be a better fit, with a 25.2 Diameter. Thanks for your help guys
