So the new combo is 255/70r15 rear and 195/60r15 front. US Wheel Daytonas (black) Rear 8" w 3 3/4"BS and front 7" w 3 1/4" (I think) BS. A member asked me for some pics and I took a few. here's a link to them so Dial up folks can choose not to see. I think this is about the tallest tire I've had on the rear of this car and there isn't much more room. Here's the link: http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a335/courier11sec/Kelly Chargers/
thats the look i am going for, except for the 70 series tire.. it makes it look like a HUGE tire so you dont have a problem with 255 on a 15x8 with 3.75" BS? thats the tire i want to get
Correct. Note that this is in the cosmetic forum. Definately got the 'big and little' bit covered. The super tall rears make it a bit more pleasant at freeway speeds and suprisingly doesn't handle terribly. My slicks are three inches shorter than these rears. A better functional match.
besides that. it makes the car faster as it's always going downhill. i forgot almost everywhere in the country is downhill from bellingham. actually they look good ray.
You probably already know of this mod, but your pics made me think to bring it up. Especially if you do experiment with tires... When I zero'd in the tune on my slapper bars, they were in a position to dig into the sidewalls of my tires when hard turning/cornering. I cut the sharp ends off at an angle and then rounded all the corners. I put red lines where I removed metal... in one of your pics. Keep on experimenting! Just adds to the knowledge base of what will and won't fit. Dave
kinda like this... Did this after i accidentally installed one a couple inches off, and cut a ring into the inside of my tire...
Trouble is my slicks don't fit if I bring it down. One day I'll get some ten inch wide slicks instead of the 11.5's I have now.
