| I have a 61 Ghia. I had 135s on the front and 185-60-15 on the rear off a Scion I had. I have moved the 185-60-15s to the front and want to upsize the rear to keep a staggered look and also take more advantage of my freeway flier.I was looking at going up to a 205 or a 215-65-15.. Anybody already been there and have any suggestions? thanks |

215/65-15 is too wide for a stock smoothie.
Maybe look at 195/65-15...but even that is probably pushing the envolpe. |

Agreed. Stock smoothies were only 15 x 4. You're probably at your limit already w/ the 185/60R15. If you want some rake, you might try 185/65R15 for the rear. Those are 24.5 inches tall, compared to 23.7 inches tall for your 185/60R15. |

| I am taking a chance with 195-65-15. I do not want it as much for a rake but for ratio with my freeway flier...Thanks guys!! |
