Rick Lake, Santa stopped by this week on his way to NJ
My 17x9 and 17x11 PSE rims came in. Took about 6 weeks for Phil to get them done. I went with PSE instead of Vintage because Vintage only goes to 17x8.5 and 17x10.5 and that is .5 inch too narrow according to Nitto for these tires. These are the 275/40-17 and 315/35-17. Body is standing a little too tall .. I haven't lowered it from the Billboard stance and these tires are 1 in less diameter at 25.6 in.
Dee, you didn't say if you were sticking with the 15 in rims, but if so, the Goodyear Billboards from Roger Kraus are very soft like the Avons .. but much cheaper. Problem is, they are not DOT, and being bias ply, if you get a nail in them, most places won't patch them.
I think 295/50 is the biggest tire you can get in a 15 in. That is why I ordered the 17 in rims. Anyway, I want to warn you about trying to get that monster to hook up .. it will make shrapnel out of your diffy. I went through that with the Billboards on a hot July day on some fresh blacktop
