Front tires
I know what I am going to put on the back. 275/60/15, but not sure about the front. I have put disc on it and it is the stock axle. So I am thinking of 215/70/15 or 225/70/15 on 7" wheels.
What do you all think?

I am using 275-60-15 on rear on 10 inch wheel and 225-70-15 on 7 inch on the front. I have not altered the fender openings and those 225-70s fill the wheel opening real nice, if there is enough clearance for your steering lock to lock you are gold. The diameter is also close to the rears so your brake bias is pretty close to even front to rear but you didn't say what front end you are using. I have a Lincoln Continental subframe that has been narrowed a total of 5 inches (including the frame and the a-arms) and I don't know what it measures from flange to flange. Tacson (Donald) likes these front ends and if he is on line he may know the original flange to flange measurement is and that should give you a pretty good idea where you are, hope this helps LOL
