Yeah, I do live here, I live in Wichita Falls, and that wasn't rain, it was a poor excuse for rain, just enough to make it miserable.

Yeah the guy I bought the wheels from didn't understand that 215 60s are smaller in diameter than 215 70s. I am going with 255/60s rear and 215/70s on front. Those tire sizes are .1 different in diameter, with the rear larger.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: [email protected]</div><div class="ubbcode-body">good idea Bob! </div></div> I am not able to get the tires I want due to them being discontinued, so I am going to opt for the old faithful BF Goodrick Radial T/As. Either going with 215/65/15 front, 255/60/15, or same front and 295/50/15 rear. There is no difference in the tire diameters.

Hey Sam, I have a question?, what do you think would be a good color for the rims? They are grey as you can see, what is your opinion or anybody else that wants to chime in? I am going with original paint with some racing black racing stripes. I am all ears!

I like the original rallye wheel paint color Bob. Can't go wrong with that. how about BFG's at 215-70R/15 for the front and 235-70R/15 for the back? Do they make them in that combo?
