<VV> Was Crager S/S now tire size

[Mark Edmonds]

If you go to a larger wheel diameter a lower profile tire is needed to maintain the stock diameter.  
  I am using 205/55/15 on 15 x 7 wheels front and rear on 66 Corsa with 5 inch wheel backspace.  They are 23.9 in. dia. Stock is about 24.6 in. dia.  
  205/60/15 would be about the same dia. as stock.
  I am pretty sure Bryon Blackwell said he ran 225 on all four for a while.  I plan to go to 225/50/15 in rear when I buy new tires - keeping the 23.9 in. dia.

  Thanks for all the pics and info on Cragar S/S wheels when I asked about
them. I have been reading Brians web site and it gave me food for though. I
have 14 inch tires on my 65 Vert now and was going to stay wit h14 in but it
seems that some are running 15 inch. What is the max sizes that you can use
on a stock suspension with no fear of rubbing? All of the talk of 13 in
tires going away, will 14in be far behind?

Also, are any VVer's using tires with smaller sidewalls, I call it low
profile but I don't think that term is accurate. 



Thanks
