    predfan dont know how much of a hurry your in but im going to get some 15x12s as soon as i get my local tire shop to beat the ebay price.right now i have 14x7s in front and 15x10 on back (see top of page) i never understood why they put 14s on the front and 15s on the back.i bought them used.they still have alot of life left on them.i picked up a set of 15x7s 2 yrs ago for the front and like everyother part theyve been stting waiting for my resto to be done.now it is, so now i move foward with bigger tires.

    In all honesty i do like it with the Cragars but what i really want for it are slots.And not factory slots.I have 2 15x8's already for the back just need a pair of 15x4's or possibly 6" for the front.They seem to be pretty tough to find.Going for this look.
