Re: question on tire size for the panel

Check this thread on 15's

I Just want to fill the fenders up a bit more. I will definitely have to wait until I get it back on the ground to see were it sits 1st because I am unsure if there was any drop in the front springs. They look stock to me but I want to be sure. The tires it has on it (which need to be replaced anyway due to age and cracking) just looked like a lost ball in the tall grass. I don't want to drop the truck as much as just get the air out of the openings, if you know what I mean.

What it has now is 235/70 in the rear and 215/ 70 on the fronts with the vette rallys. and this is what it looked like when I 1st brought it home.

It will sit at least 2" lower front and rear now due to spindle change and added block in rear.

There are a lot of pages to sift thru on the link you provided so I hope to find something that has the stance I am looking for. I am not ready for tires yet but there are a lot of deals locally on craigslist for tires from time to time and would hate to miss out on a decent set.

Thanks for the link.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
