    i just recently bought rims(diamond look alikes) for my 88 pickup and i don't know what tire size to put on. rim size is 15x8 and it already has tires that is 165 45 15. now my truck sits way to close to the ground i hit the ground on bumpy roads here inn hawaii.my truck is 4in dropped in front and 3in in the rear. i need help on choosing a tire size. i was thinking maybe a 195 50 15 but not sure if they will rub and i want to see how it'll look before i grab some. anyone with pics or suggestions?

    Look up my build thread. I'm running 195/50/15 on a 15x8.5 rim. Pic of how low your truck is would help also.
