Here is the ride height I am going for (I want it nice and inconvenient to drive)

I am narrowing a Ghia type 1 beam by 2 inches and installing adjusters.

I have CB Peformance 2.5 inch drop spindles.

I am going to get some BRMs (don't know what size I need to get).

So my questions are;
1. What size tires should I run front to rear?
2. What size BRMs I should get?

Thanks for the help,
J.D.

Rears look slightly larger and might be 175/55-15.
