    Front - 15x4 with 26x7.5 (Same as 165's)
    Rear - 15 x 8 with 275/60's

    I want a bigger tire but not sure what will fit. I will not cut or roll the quarters, or jack the rear up til they fit.

    It doesn't matter what condition your car is in. :gp:
    Its all about the tire and rim combo in this one, but they do look great on your car. Nice

    Newest addition
    15x4 on front
    15x10 on back with MT slick. Frame notching in the works now so car can sit down a little. That's over 13" of tire tread under there.

    Sure, we can build yours like that.

    We run Mickey Thompson 12.5x28.5 for street. They are almost the same size, but have tread.

    What was the offset or backspacing for that combo.

    What are the 64 Lark folks rollin' on?

    Was curious about using a set of 15" rallies on the lark. Anyone running them on a stock height setup?

    Thanks your car looks really good with those wheels. Do you think we can fit a wider setup on the back maybe a 9.5" wide in the rear and an 8 on the front

    what would you say the backspacing would be if you did go that combo?
    (the 9.5 rear and 8 fronts)
