Does anybody know whether or not a set of 275/60R15 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T's will fit on my old 1987 Dodge D150? I am redoing the look of my truck into somewhat of a show truck and I found the tires for a fair price I was just wondering if anyone knew if they would fit my truck?

You bet. My left rear rubbed the inner fender on occasion, not much or often. I suspect the axle wasn't quite centered in the body.

I ran and wore out two or three sets of 275's before I went back to a narrower size due to hydroplaning.

The 79 little red express truck used that size from the factory, that's what i'm gonna put on my 84 D150 project, with 15x8 chrome super spokes Cragars with 3 3/4" back spacing which I know they fit because I fitted them already.

You will want a 15x8" rim with 4" or 3 3/4" back spacing, I'm not sure if a rim with 4 1/2" backspacing will clear up front with the P275/60R15, everyone likes there tires inside the fender well, I like mine right about a inch sticking out, but hey that's just me

15x8 rears/ 275/60/15 15x7s fronts with 245/60/15 on Centerlines, Rockcrushers, Ultra 50s. look at Summits site to get an idea..

you may want/need to change bolt patterns for a better selection
