I've got 235/60/15 all around. It's a 26.1" tall tire. They clear all the things with my t type wheels. Something like... 3.75" of backspacing if I remember right. Also a 15x7 wheel. I like having the same size if the wheels are the same for rotation as I drive my car year round.

Thank you for the visual. What size is the rear that is a very nice stance? Forgot I took pics of the Monte. Arlo in the shop with my car. I love the stance on it and took pics. I like the way it sits and after looking through several tire size threads, I've made a decision. 205/70/15 front 255/60/15 rear View attachment 128077 View attachment 128078 View attachment 128079
Ok that makes sense. Thank you for your advice.
I have 275/60/15 on the rear

I got them on ebay from a company in Fresno ca. I know I paid way to much but none of the other wheel company's make them anymore

If I had my painted ssiii sent out to be made into 15" rally's it would have been alot more money.

Here is the ebay item# 113830923843

He has 15x7 and 15x8 4.5 back spacing.

I just love the look of those olds rallys.

Take care guys.

my plan worked perfectly HAHAHA
But seriously. Thanks for the compliment, but it's just an '85 Limited. :p
It's essentially morphing into how I would have ordered a T Type in 1985, if I could have. Stout Buick 350, 200r4 (soon), and the GN rear end. And the wheels, and steering wheel of course.
