    I want to get some WWW for my 51 Pontiac wagon. Any idea on what sizes I should get? Should I go with big and littles? Brands? Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

    My brother's got a '50. He went with g-78 15's www. Looks good,and you can rotate them for wear. A 225-75 15 radial would work good,and ride nicer. Check with CorkyCoker for a good deal.:DSparky

    I'd go with a P205/75R15. Check out Coker Tire (www.cokertire.com , I think). They are kinda pricey, but good tires, and they look sharp.

    What method did you use to lower it? How much? It looks right.

    Thanks Justin,
    It was done the wrong way I guess, but I'm a budget man with no money for air bags ect. I cut 2 coils from the front and the rear had 2 inch blocks with a couple of leaves removed. It rode great on the freeways, backroads were a little rough. Whatever way you go, the wagon looks so much better. Keep us updated with your progress.

    The "wrong way" is OK with me. I need to get a good pic off of the trailer and get some photoshop help. I get a little more motivated when I can get a taste of the end result.
