My new to me wheels are 15 x 7 & 15 x 8.5. I did 2" drop shackles in the rear and am considering pulling a few leaves once I see how low the front is. I may need to hold off on tires but the BFG's are a good deal. I'm concerned that a 25" tire up front will look too small. I have been running 235/75/15 (28.5" dia) all around at stock height. Orge also pointed out that it can be difficult to stuff a wide rear tire in the lowered rear wheel wells. I'm not looking to slam it, just adjust the attitude a bit and I do want a little rake. So...can we see some more wheel and tire pics...
Here's mine, 235/60-15 on front, 255/60-15 on rear, 15x7's & 15x8's
