7.10's rub on my 69 camaro. I prefer under 27" for the front. I run 6.40x15 BF Goodrich Silvertowns on my 15x4's.

bumpy in the beginning. The original L-60's on the back are the thumpers for a mile or so. Mickey Thompsons dated 1971.

Thanks. Yeah, you just cannot beat the look of BP's with a radial. I sure wish someone would make a new N50-style radial with the more angled edges. 325/50 R15's have the similar height and sidewall thickness, but they just don't have that squared off look of the BP's.

I wouldn't lower it. If you are looking for true &quot;day 2&quot;, getting cars up in the air was the hot ticket back in the 70s, not lowering them. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I agree that lowering the front would give it more rake, but it depends on what look you're going for. With a lowered front you're probably more contemporary, but if you bring up the rear a little bit and leave the front as-is, that's definitely more old school day two in my opinion.
