Hello all,
Need some help on some new tires for my 84 AE. Long story short- the car was lowered from a PO however, too low and not really to my liking, so I took the cut & welded crap springs out and had Eibachs installed. this raised it up some and I want to try and fill the gaps if I can without going too big. The tires need replacing anyways as the rears are nearly gone on the inside because of excessive negative camber wear.
So, here's what I got: 18" aftermarket wheels with dunlop tires.
Currently on the car: 235/40/R18 in the Front
255/35/R18 in the back
My concern is the sidewall height or aspect. I think going 60 in the front 55 in the rears would be too big, but I don't want to go too small and not be able to fill the gaps either. I was thinking maybe half way, around 50 for the fronts and 45 in the back. Just don't want to go in blindly and spend money on tires that don't fit right or look proper, you know. Check out the photos post spring install. Any help....What do you think?
