Looking for the best tire height for a d150 with the 3" van lower control arms and the axel flipped on top of the springs in stock position.

That depends on taste aswell. You can run 185/65-15s up the something in the 20" rims. Width and height is really your call. Some guys like 275/60-15s all the way around but I find it Hideous. A member on RCC has 30x9.50s and says they clear on his lowered Rc. I ran 205s to 225s on my clubcab with cut coils and my truck literally road on the bumpstop brackets.

I wanted the tires all the same size so I can rotate the tires. I have two new 255/60/15 that I was thinking of using. Maybe 225/70/15 as they are 27" tall.

Well I think Im finally going to work on much 80 shortbox those summer. Will need a mini tub. My dad called me a couple nights ago and said he had some wide tires. Now I have some 29x15.5 15s. Scratch what's your bs on your rim?

Snafu 8" wheels are to wide for most 60 series tires.

But took the truck for a drive and it was fun!

Nope. 275/60 calls for 10" (correction 9.5" for 17" Rims but summit only lists 2 tires)
An easy way to see what width rims a tire calls for is go to summitracing.com and search the size you want, click on it and read the specs. Same with tirerack.com but when you click specs it gives a list of that tire in diff sizes aswell

Summit you can also choose max widths etc in your search
Heres a start

I haven't measured the Rims yet but assume they are 12" wide with almost 7" bs. Here is why a tub would be required. Tires are 29x15.5-15

Rims have to be installed backwards to fit a 5th Ave
