Default Re: got my first set of CRAGARS?

5.20 and 5.60 x 15 are basic old VW tire sizes. That's the size many street rodders use for front tires to get the big and little look. No way is a 5.60 what you would use if you want the tall look. I'm thinking 7.10 at least is what is on the front of the Jenkins Camaro. You gotta remember, dedicated drag race cars put up with a lot of things that weren't really street friendly. Make up your mind what you want, <span style="text-decoration: underline">the look</span>, or street manners.

Well said.

This is the 5.60 and the 235/60-15 Pro Tracs on a Vega. 25.88 on the front and 26.65 on the rear.
Good for a smaller car but not for a Chevelle, etc. IMO.
