Hello,

I have a 350 Vortec with a 700R4 with straight front axle in a 1946 chevy 1/2 ton and rearend out of a 1953 or newer truck. I plan to run 235/75R15's on the rear on 8 inch aftermarket rims. I am debating about running a 205/75R15 or 215/75R15 on the front. I am using the old steering box that has been rebuilt. No power steering. To save discussion, I am not worried about interference with these but would like to know anyone else's experience with steerability and handling with a wider tire than original. I believe original was a 7 inch tire and around 28 inches tall. I would like to go with the 215 but don't want to sacrifice too much steerability just for a wider tire. Suspension is factory except for 3 leaf springs removed from front and rear.
