I've been looking at more conservative slick sizes to run on my truck without modifying my axle & brakes. Right now I'm considering the Hoosier 30x10.50-15 (#18205, D05 compound, 8-10" recommended wheel width, 13.1" section width), mounted on a 15x8" wheel with 4" of BS to fit on my drum brake equipped D70.
Has anyone got advice for running a narrower wheel in the recommended range of a given slick? I feel like an 8" wheel would tuck the best, and as of right now I'm limited to a 31" max tire height based on the ride height of my truck.
This pretty much sums up my tire issue on the stock width axle, these are 31" tall:
any taller and the tires will hit the fender lip before I'm at full bump.
