Jonathan,

That's pretty narrow rubber on the rears, although historically correct. I think the factory sizes were: front 185/70/15 and rear 225/70/15. I do not think a 225/70/15 tire will fit a 9" rim, as the recommended width would be 7.5" for that tire width.

I feel something much beefier would be much better. I was hoping to run 295/50/15 tires which was why I wanted the 10" rims. Might be good to get input from other before committing to the narrower 9" wheel. I think on the 9" wheel a 275/50/15 would be the widest tire one would want to go, but a 225 would be too narrow.

Tire Size comparisons:
225/70/15 = 27.4" dia. (factory tire size) on a 6" to 7.5" wide rim
275/60/15 = 28" dia. on a 7.5" to 9.5" wide rim
295/50/15 = 26.7" dia. on a 8" to 10" wide rim

So, I renew my plea for the 10" wide rim.

and in silver for mine.
