OEM Wheel Question

[jocko]

You will fill up the wheelwell better without getting too wide by using a higher numerical aspect ratio tire - ie a 70 or even 75 series tire rather than a 60 series. 255-70 are a great stock look that will fill the wheelwell better than the original factory size tire. I’d put them all the way around. If you want wider in the back, recommend 275-60 with 235-70 in front for a balanced similar height with the fat rears, slight rake maybe too. Note that if you only alter the series, front to back (like a 70-235 in front and a 60-235 in back), the rear tires will actually be shorter than the fronts by a small amount. Do you indeed have wider rear rallies as Tim mentioned? I’ve had white rallies, preferred the stock argent silver - if you do too, then when swapping tires is the time to paint or powder coat them. Note, as far as what your friend said about highway driving, a taller tire will very slightly reduce rpm for a given speed, but it’s not a substitute for an overdrive trans or higher rear gear (lower ratio) - those are the only real options, or something like a gear vendors overdrive unit, to noticeably reduce highway rpm. Can’t really do it with tires alone. So, choose tires for looks and performance, not highway rpm.
