You can get a 255/60/15 on but it will bubble out a little more than it should. I'm running 235/60/15 on a 7 inch weld and it seems to be about the perfect size for that size rim.

all depends on the rim and backspacing and rim width and hieght you have in the wheel well. I got a 10 and half inch rim with a huge backspacing so i got a 315 tire on it but its a low pro tire so its only 26 inches tall.
