Fronts he had 255/70/15 with spacers. But the inside wall was still all chewed up. Whole thing was a mess. It's going down to the frame for a complete redo. It's a '74 shortbed with 454/TH400. Going back to stock 2-tone color scheme which was Rosedale Red/Frost and white steelies with T/A Radials.
225/70's on 8's & 275/60's on 10"s is my usual suggestion for the height w/very similar section width vs wheel width. Your F/R heights & section widths being incrementally similar works well visually w/the right drop. Post up pics when you get them.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
