Considering P235/60R15 tires on 7" American Racing Rally rims all around. Brakes are all drum. What is best BS for front rims to avoid rubs, earlier posts indicate 4", 4.25", or 4.5". Will also be using Eibach 1" lower springs in front, new 3 leaf mono replacements in back.

Anyone with drum brakes and P235/60R15 7" rims? How about BS on 8" rims with P235/60R15?

American Racing may not offer those b/s....I think their maximum on 7's is 3 3/4"...which works well on Camaro's.

On an 8" wheel,I would go 4 3/4"...I know AR offers this because I just ordered a set of 200S' last week.

I went with 4" BS on the front 17 x 7's and 235/45 tires. I also have the Eibach 1" lowering springs with no rubbing (also a nod to JimM).

Hey Jim, how's that 5 speed feel?
