Thanks. These were actually on her when I bought her, but I've grown to like them. The oversized "Hot Wheels" look just screams 1980 to me, so I kept them. The wheels are older Cragar (Prostar? Streetstar?)
Front-P235/60 R15
Back-P295/50 R15
They do require a 1/2" spacer to clear the brake calipers...
One of these days I'll likely move up to a larger wheel, but these still work for now (and I've got too many other items on my to-do/wish list).
