Default 69 gto convertible - tires.

Before and after pics - the FRONT are 235/60/15 BFG's on 15x7's (I think 4" backspace?? - whatever is pretty stock for vintiques wheels). OF NOTE: the after are same tires flipped to the black side.

Before BACK tire pics were BFG 245/60/15's and after are Nitto 555R 275/60/15 drag radials. Same rim for both tires is vintiques 15X8 w/ 4 1/2 BS.

Comment - my front springs are fairly new PST's built for stock height. I DID NOT tell them I would be changing to an aluminum intake - this makes the stock ride height (which is already a little high) even higher. My front tires will occasionally rub. (I don't think they would if the front of car sat a little lower on the springs). ALSO - they rubbed my wheelwell trim enough to make me take it off.

I have had the back right Nitto rub occasionally coming off of speed bumps.
