Stock axle, one leaf removed. So, I now have a pair of stock 15 in. wheels, zero offset. I am wondering what radial tire to mount? The stock wheel width is only 5 1/2 inches. I have reversed 7 in. on the back, which is fine. Size of existing front tires: 215/70 15. Any suggestions? Should I have new outer rims added to the centers, stay with the zero offset only go 6 in. or 6 1/2 inches??

Check the air pressure 3-5 pounds less in the back will cause wandering too, reguardless of tire size.

Wouldn't hurt to check the castor and toe in/out while you're at it . | | |
