Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only

Ok one more time for squeezing out the 15's ... Heck even if you posted way back lets see em again. Or maybe you have a set just waiting for that someday build. Tire and wheel sizes and what drop, or stock, or lift too.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only

I posted previously, but at that time I had four 15x8 rally wheels. The front wheels were rubbing on the outer lip of the inner fenders, so I switched to 15x7 in the front along with 215/70R15 tires. This solved the rubbing issue.

I'm thinking custom (home-made) painted. I recall an episode of Chasing Classic Cars where Wayne's dad did this to most of his cars.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only

I think he got them at diamondback tires. I had some for my panel made by them. Tell em the size tire you want and they take it from there. My tires were smoothed and then the red line was applied, they do high quality work. I think its vulcanized, not positive. Here is a link to their site.
