I am probably going to be in the market for some new wheels this winter, but my suspension parts probably won't come for a while. Being a college cheapskate, I was wondering what was a good tire size/profile that would fit and look good on both a stock height front suspension as well as one dropped an inch and a half or so. This is all on a 15" rim, btw.

i´m wearing 215/R60 x 15 and spacers in the front to make the wilwood calipers fit. So 225/60 is still ok without spacers. Some people have 225/60 but experience probs with fender lip while cornering . I´ve got 1" shelby drop and 1" lowered springs on my 66.

hope that helps

The chart can answer this one for you easily.

Just look at the entries with lowered suspension, anything that will fit on a lowered car with no problem, will fit on a stock car with no problems.
