I think I got a little too tall of tires for the car but overall I'm happy with the new look.

Looks nice. What size tires are they? Maybe the car is sitting a bit high for your taste. Are those fresh leaf springs?

And for Commando...
What is the biggest tire you could have put on there?:rolleyes:

The tires are 235x15s. Maybe I just need to get used to them - the previous ones were 205x15s. The new ones have it sitting quite a bit higher than it was before.

Not new leaf springs - I had the old ones re-arched 2 or 3 years ago. They were so bad I think they had actually started arching down before they were redone.
 
The tires are 235x15s.

What ratio? 60"s or 70's? For example I put 235 15 70's on the front of my Fury but to get the same circumference on the rear end with bigger tires I went with 275 15 60's. I think your car has a nice but high stance for my taste especially in the front which is the easy part to fix. My opinion only!! But I still think it looks really great. The wheels are excellent.

I just looked. They are actually 235 x 75 x 15. I had no idea they were 75s (Not sure I even knew they still made 75s :-D )

I am getting more used to them. But I wish I had paid a little more attention. I kind of left it up to the tire store - plus they had them in stock. I would have gone for no more than 70s and preferably 60s.
 
What a beauty! You made no mistakes and neither did Plymouth!
 
Thanks! The tires before were a lower profile. I think I just had to get used to the new look! I parked it across the street a few days ago where I got a longer visual look at it and it looked great! :-D
