Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
Captainfab or heck anybody have any pics of their suburban with some 8 inch rally wheels? I plan on dropping the front of mine a little. I searched through lots of the picture threads. Right now I am leaning towards 275/60/15 rear and 235/65/15 front.

Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
CaptainFab. Do you by chance have any other pics of your suburban with that wheel tire combo. Maybe a shot from the front or back that will show the front and rear tires in reference to the fenders? I am just concerned about running 8" wheel on the front since I do plan on dropping the front down. I dry fit just a bare wheel on the front of mine and it comes out really close to the outer edge of fender.

Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
I don't have any other pics available at the moment. I'll try and remember to take a couple tomorrow.

Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
I did take some pics this morning, but I forgot to bring the memory card home. I'll post the pics tomorrow evening. I think you're right though, if you lower the front more than about 2 to 2-1/2" the 275/60R15's on the 15" x 8" ralley's will hit the fenders. This will be magnified with upgrading the front to disc brakes which moves the wheels outward aprox 3/4"

Re: 65 Suburban. Need advice
I have the rally type off of an 86 Suburban on mine(5 lug), but the widest tire I can go is a stock 235/75R15. I had some 255/70R15 Firestone Firehawk's on it several years ago, but they were rubbing the wheel well whenever I hit bumps, so now I have stainless "frowns" on my wheel wells. I had them painted light green, the same as the body and they looked pretty good. Sorry no pics, but I cant get my pics to download.
