On my 66 SS,I currently have the ralley wheels,trims and center caps,15x7 frount,P205/65/R15,rear,15x8,P275/60/R15.I do not like the stance at all.The back tires are too tall and fat,and the frounts are too short.
I like my ralleys,and I'm leaning towards replaceing them with chrome 15x7 or 15x8's from Wheel Vintiques.I going with T/A radials,either P225/70/R15,P235/70/R15,P245/70/R15.
Keep in mind,this is a # matching car with the drum brakes.I need some advice on wheel b/s,tire size,and general feedback.
Thanks,Bob

225/70R15 and 275/60R15's have the same diameter. This is the combination I've run on ALL my Chevelles. I think it looks best. ...but that's just my opinion.
