    How wide do u wanna go? 225/70 on the back of mine and im going down to 215 when these are burnt up just so its easier to get them on n off!! To wide is not really the look that goes with chopped n dropped customs IMHO. Check my photos for back pics of mine.

    Yeah, I had 235xsomethingx15's on the back and have 215's now and the next ones will be maybe 205's. and now 75 high instead of 60's.

    more like a 6.70 x15 but in a radial.

    A few years ago a friend of mine was running 245/60/15's with 15x8 corvette rallys on his 54 Bel Air. He said any wider and it would have rubbed.

    Rememer tho if your goung low with the car its going to be tough to get real wide n tall without relieving the wheel wells. My 225/70 15s are about bottomed out when let down and about 1/2" on each side..as far as wide if your running a panhard bar then you have some side to side movement also.
