I run 255/60R15's on the factory 8" rims with no interference issues. 255/60 was the standard tire size from '78 to '82. Problem is that just about everyone has stopped production of that size except for BF Goodrich, so choices are narrowing. Unless you're going to a wider aftermarket rim, 255mm is about as wide as you can go on the factory rims without sacrificing handling and tire wear.

Wow! No offense, but I couldn't agree more! Them're probably the ugliest-*** rims ever designed. What was the previous owner drinking (smoking?) when he put those on? Must have thought they looked cool on his lifted S-10 before he wrecked it and thought "hey, why not"?
