Stance help

I’d like to get thetires from discount as it’s more convenient with having them mounted and fixed if needed.
The nexem wheels appear close enough to the corker versions.

Those will look great. Same kind of profile. The Cokers are for the restorations that want everything to be perfect. Coker is licensed for the original molds but make them with new materials. I have something that looks similar to the Cooper. I have a Coker as a spare, because that is the tire that everyone looks at up in the truck bed. Since BF Goodrich doesn't make the commercial fleet tire that looks like mine anymore I will have to get the Cooper or save up and get all Coker.

And 235/75 instead of 70 will be a slightly higher side wall. I think

 

[Chief Brody]

I beleive thats right..the second number is the ratio or percentage of height vs width

 

[Chief Brody]

At any rate, the tire should have a more flat sidewall or square look than a rounded balloon donut.

I put the 235/70/15 in the rear to see what it looks like opposed to the fatter 275/60/15

235/70/15



the fatter 275/60/15 below...

Here is one with th fatter tire on all four. Fat tires in the front probably look odd in person.
275/60/15 on 15x8 wheels

 

[Chief Brody]

Dog dish caps will look better on wider fatter tires and wheels. Hubcaps look right on "pizza cutters"

 

[Chief Brody]

You got rally wheels though

 

[Chief Brody]

My personal preference is little to no tire sticking out beyond wheel well, I'm ok with any size tire in front as long as it doesn't stick out

 

[TJ1978]

I ordered these in 15x8 5x5 4.25 backspace.

so i have about 3weeks to figure out what tires to run.
I like these alot

Full wheel hub caps looks good as well

 

[TJ1978]

Here is 235/75/15 on 15x7 wheel. I may have to change my order at summit for 15x7 instead of 15x8

 

[centexk5]

I like the 275.

 

[TJ1978]

Here is
“15x7 front
15x8 rear
Wheel Vintiques Smoothies with their hubcaps.
Rear tire is 255/70/15
Front 225/70/15”

I may go this route but keep 225 all around on 15x7 maybe.

 

[Chief Brody]

I think that will look great

 

[TJ1978]

15x7 225/75/15 hankook white walls...
I’ve read too many saying 235/75/15 can look odd on a 15x8 wheel

 

[Chief Brody]

7" was closer to standard on those years. May have been an opinion. I believe 6" was truly stock but I think 7" gives a nice profile.

 

[TJ1978]

..15x7 235/75/25
