If you have a ifs with stock spindles and 4 inch drop springs in the rear. I would like to know what you run. I have a 51 and it ain't going to be long before i will need some rubber. I was thinking 255/60/15 cooper a/t.

On my 48 I'm running 225:75/R15s front and rear but will go with 235:75/R15s on rear next time. I have Volare front and 5-6 inch drop in rear with axle over springs...
