Re: Tire size question.

I am currently installing a watts link, which will keep the diff centered with all up and down movement. I like my tire fitments to be as close to the outside edge as possible because to me it gives it sort of a muscle look to it. As for the big wheels, it makes the suburban not look so large or "heavy". Helps with the proportioning. I am a hot rodder at heart, and I like the same size wheels front and back, but big and small tire combo's. The look I am going for is more stock, but slammed, so a body colored center of a centerline smoothy, with a factory dogdish hub cap to hide the lugs and give it a 20 inch steel wheel look. As for measuring, I would love to, but it is in storage 30kms away from me for another month, and I would like to start ordering parts as it takes forever to get them up here in Canada. I was just gonna take what ever sizes people had and subtract a bit for safety and live with the setup. But as you say measuring is the best option, but I am impatient.
