    I have a 62 Skylark that will see street/strip action. I have replaced the front suspension and sub frame with an after market unit, it has 2" drop spindles.
    I need help figuring out what wheels and tire sizes to get. I converted over to 5 lug and it has disk brakes up front.
    I like skinny up front and fat in the back. But with Ohio roads I think a 5x15 wheel is a better option.
    I can get a 9-10" wide tire in the back without much cutting. I hope to someday mini tube or back 1/2 but I just want to get this on the road for now.
    So a 15x8 wheel would work I imagine.
    What tire would you recommended? Drag radials for the rear? How tall a tire to run in the front and back?
    Thanks
