hey my jimmy needs new rear tires and i was thinking about putting wider tires in the rear. i have 235 75 15 all around right now but was thinking about going with 255 70 15 in the rear. will those sizes work or is it not good to run staggered sizes? my jimmy is stock suspension btw. if someone is running those sizes could you post a picture thanks.
 
i just wana know if those sizes would work on the truck..anyone?
front 235 75 15
rear 255 70 15
 
stagered sizes are not good. Wider tires are ok, but the hight needs to stay the same. Of course some will debate that too. You wan to keep all tires rotating the same speed, so they need ot be the same hieght. Whne in 4X4 if one set is taller or shorter it will turn at a different rate then the rest.. so your rearend will be faster/slower (with the taller tires) which.. will lead to alot of stress on your drivetrain, tire wear and alot fo general nastiness.
