Default Tire size question.

I came across these pics of this truck on this forum and am trying to figure out what tire sizes he is running! If someone knows or could guess I'd like to here it.

I know that the wheels are 15x7f/15x10r but I can't find a decent tire for the 15x10's.

I've seen people run 275/60r15's on 15x10's but they look to be more stretched than his are, I'm trying to stay with the stock od diameter of around 28 inches but wider than the 275/60, it looks like 325/50r15 would be the perfect tire but I am only able to find them in drag radials.

What do you guys think?

I agree, it's the exact look I've been wanting to go with for my truck! I may just have to go with the 275/60 and just deal with a little tire stretch.

Those look like a 16 or possibly 17 in. rim.

Lowrance, I was thinking about the 295/50. The width would be perfect but I don't like the fact that the diameter is only 26.6

That 28x12.50 looks like it could be exactly what I need, I just wonder how the 12.5 width would look on a 10" wide rim (off to google land I go).
Edit* ok maybe not lol. That's a $250 tire so a bit out of my price range! I think I'm just gonna go with 275/60 and see how they look!

I know for sure that the wheel sizes on the pics I posted are 15x10 rear 15x7 front. He posted the wheel info just not the tire info.

If you're going with a 275/60, go with either the BFG radial T/A or the Cooper Cobra.
