What is the biggest tire I can safely fit on these? I know forever everyone used the 1658015 but I see they are t speed rated and I've driven on that size as a daily driver for years. But just looking for something that could handle the lof of better and a better speed rating that could handle daily driving .

You do realize you're limiting your emergency braking capability with those wheels and any tire that fits? If it's just a fun car that doesn't see highway speeds much, it's not a big deal. I ran a 185/60 on a different car(70 nova) w/out a problem

I know. I drove daily for years with that set up with the tiny 1658015, through rain snow and ice it was my daily car. They were Great in snow actually they cut through it better then the stock 2256015's on the turbines

15x 3.5 skinniest I wanted to see if anyone's run like a 185 instead of the 165 up front. I would assume the 195 would be way too big for a 3.5 inch rim
