Hey Aaron,
Your fairly close to your limits with 15 inch wheels. I've seen 255/60/15 up front on an 8 inch wheel with 5" of back spacing.
A 275/40/17 will work because the tire height is much shorter than the 255 or 245 you have on know. The 275 is only 25" in height compared to 26-27 for the 245/60.
In the back you should be abel to run a 15 by 10 rim with 5-6" of back spacing and run a 295/50/15 tire. It's shorter in height than your 275 by 2 inches but nice and wide. I've seen a 315 tire on the back but it requires rolling the fender lip. When you decide on what wheels and tires you want I'll double check all the sizes if you want.

Sean I have 245 60 15 on rear what is limit wide with out losing the height are 275s much wider Ted, I run 245/60/15 up front and 275/60/15 out back. The difference is 1.2" wider for the 275 and 1.4" taller. If your cragers have 4.5" of backspacing in the rear the 275's will fit in the wheel wells even with no air in the bags, just fine. |
