Wheel & Tire size preferences for F1s

Just curiouse, I see a lot of variation out there, lots of folks going with one size on the front, another on the rear. Myself, I'm thinking of keeping the same size, so that I can carry a usable spare for long distance trips. I've been looking at a lot of finished F1 pics, and it just seems like too many choices!

Are you thinking radial or stock bias ply?

If you are sticking with the same size all around, you might want to consider 225:75/R15s. I used them on my 48 F-1 and was happy with them. They are close to stock looking...

Yeah, I'm thinking radial. I'm not really planing on the wheels looking original, but I want the wheels to look nice in the wheel well too.

Here's mine with the 225:75/R15s so you can get an idea of what they look like...
