Another Tire Size Thread

Anyone running 235/75/15 size tires? If so, what size lift or just stock height?

I currently have a 3.5" lift with 32 x 11.50 on 15 x 8 wheels but want to lower it to either 2.5" or maybe just stock. Just wondering what the 235/75/15 will look like. I appreciate all replies!

Maybe? I don't have anything at stock height, so I should let someone else chime in on that. I like as meaty a tire as possible, regardless of height, but I think Ø30" and 9.3" wide on what I would assume to be a 6" wheel width would look about right.

235/75x15 was the stock size tires on F-150s and full size Broncos through the '90s. I'd guess it will be close to or slightly larger than stock tires on an early Bronco. So they ought to look pretty good on a stock height early Bronco.

(I'm planning on putting 235/75x15s on my lifted (~3" suspension, 1" body) Bronco with cut rear fenders next summer. But I'm a little afraid they will look way too small on it.)

That's what I'm running on my truck, think it looks about right. No lift.

Thanks guys. I put them on today and with the lift they look a little small, but I was thinking about going to stock height anyway. Now I have a good reason to!

L78X15s were optional on '74-'77 Broncos. These are considered the same size as 235/75X15 radials. Radials weren't often seen on new trucks. For many years I used the 235/75X15s on my '77 and they were the best handling and MPG tires I've tried. They're also similar to 9.00X15s that came on the Stroppe Bajas. All 3 sizes are about 29" diameter.
