they are 165/50/15 just wanted a little more meat than the 165/45 and the backs are 185/65/15 that is probably the max they are really tight but it doesn't rub. i don't think you could go bigger without narrowing the rear.

both i used the drop plates and then went one outer click to go lower. it would still looked really raked if i just did the drop plates and not the one outer click. just makes taking the tire on and off the hardest part.

we are going to drive down with you guys as long as i can get tags for it tomorrow i hope your mirror comes in today and i can put it on. i'm having to go to my parents house and go to that court house to get everything all worked out. warren county sucks when working with old cars. i know the county clerk back home.  so that is an hour drive so if it makes it home and back then i know it will be fine to drive down to the show.
