Here's my recently refinished Al Reed specials, 205/55's and 245/45's respectively:





Like J.P., I need new pics as well.

Didn't we just do this for an SC?

Ahh who cares, any reason is a good reason.

This is a pic just after a fun run through the Sierras. It was two days after they got 2 - 3 feet of snow, but the ground was mostly dry.

BTW: I am about 24 1/2" to the fender-well here on the driver's side.

205/55 245/45 Bridgestone RE730 and 750s.

How about 951 8's and 9's - the 951 8's look just like the 7's



225/50/16 and 245/45/16

and a rare picture of my car with the top up to boot!

Few of these cars look lowered. Is it better to retain stock height with 9" wheels in the back?

Curious,

How many of you here with 7s up front have 225s?

The rears have never been an issue with me - in fact I have spaced my 9" rears out another 17mm and still don't have issues. The fronts are a whole other story

Thanks very much guys. Great cars. I was told I should use 225s in the rear to better match the sidewall height of the front. What do you think? Thanks again.

Best,

Don

7's - 205/55 and 9's - 245/45 on an SC. It's a great combo I would recommend.
