Re: Tire size

<< On an 87 5KCSTQ with the stock (15 by 6) wheels, will
 215-60-15 tires be excessively donut-shaped?  Has anyone
 used 225-55-15's?  With what results?  Do the 6-inch wheels
 limit feasible tire sizes?

215's fit, tho only for looks would you want them....  Get a good 205/60 and
you will have better handling....  a 225/55 15 is too wide for a 6 inch rim,
7.0 min 7.5 preferred....  A 205 on a 7inch rim will gain you much more
correct handling than trying to put a 215 on a 6, NJTH....  Save yer monies,
do it right....  If you want to get a 225, put a 225/50 on a 16X7/7.5, it
would be THE ticket for the fender crap you'll be dealing with ......
