I want to run 15 in rims...car has 2 inch Hotckins drop front and rear and a SSBC Disc conversion (standard) with 11" rotors....anyway need to know what the best tire/rim size is for this setup.

I am thinking something like 225/60/r15 on a 15x7 rim with 4.25 in backspace up front.

And 255/60/R15 ona 15x8 rim with 4.5 in backspace.

Thoughts...and if anyone has pics with 15's and a 2 in drop it would be greatly appreciated.

Only other diff is this is a 69 so there is no 2" gap in the rear since the fender lip is lower.
