If I could get some comparison pics for tires on a 66 I would appreciate it....the wheels need to be 15" for a fair comparison.

I am trying to decide what size tires to put on my car. I have a one inch drop so let me know if you have the drop or not when you post... sorry if you posted prior to the crash....

I have narrowed my search down to 225/60, 205/60, 215/50, 205/50

What size tires did you have in that shot with the old set ? That's really what I am trying to decide on. I already bought the 15" wheels so I am locked into that. Leaning towards 50/60 series
