  1. Hey Guys,

    I'm lowering my Riv this month. Actually, My old man is going to do it before I get to Dearborn at the end of June because the Downriver cruise is happening the day I get there Jun 29th. So he's going to put the springs and shocks in it then I fly in the morning of the cruise, He'll hope in his vette, I'll jump in the Riv and we'll head to the cruise. I work as a guitar tech and I will be on tour til then. Then sunday, we start the engine and drivetrain swap. I love my old man very much. He done so much work, getting and finding parts for this swap and I cant wait to work on this with him. Its been to long.
    Anyway, to my question. I'm droppin her 3 inch. I'm running 225/75R/15 whitewalls. I know some guys with Riv's have the same size I have and want to go smaller. What are your tire sizes and what do you like or dislike?
    Guys with my size tires... Do you have rubbing issues? What do you recommend?
    And I want to see your cars.
    Thanks guys

    Car in AVATAR--P225/75R/15 in the front and P235/75R/15 in the back. No rubbing issues that causes any long term problems. . The larger the tire, the larger the whitewall you can have, Coker radials.
     
  3. Looks good! Nice and low. Mine are Cooper tires. Cheap but ride good and the sidewalls are smooth so they're a very clean looking tire. I'll keep em if they dont rub.
