I have 265/50/15's on the back of my s10 on a 7" wheel. They look like they are low all the time because they bulg so much lol. But I would think you could get away with a 255 on a 6.5" wide wheel. Especially with a taller profile.

When I asked about this (255's) I was told that while I can be done, it won't handle that well, compared to being put on a wider wheel.Former panther owner

I had 255/70's on mine for that extra fat look (didn't like them for long)... also had 235/60's too but they were too short for me.
I think someone here had 245/60 on theirs and they did/looked fine, 245/65 might work too but the odder the size the more they cost generally... 235/65 would be best IMO if that size exists... lolPete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

the thing is im in a pickle for the rims i want to use on GMGT. i want to keep the black rims that on the car but, another side would like to put on a different style rim. i really cant budget in a set of rims so i was looking at the mint turbines and caps i got sitting in storage. they looked sweet on the '81 when i ran em. the thing is, i like a wider tire on the back. the front tire size on the car is perfect(235/60/15 iirc) but the 275s on the rear are too big for my taste so i wanna go with a 245 or 255 in a 60 or 65 series tire. so this is where i thought i might be lucky with the turbines. the other option i was looking at where the 15X8 chrome rims that came on 1500 dodge ram vans but, they are hard to find. anyone got pics?

I thought ram trucks/vans used 5 on 5.5" or whatever the F-150 uses, not 5 on 4.5".Former panther owner

i have run 245/60/15's on panther turbines already.......it looks good, but the tires wear out in the centers first cause the tires are so wide.......handling was better with decent 225/70/15's btw
try a 235/60/15
