    Okay, I got my disc brake questions answered so it's time for wheels & tires. Anyone have a good wheel/tire combo that fills up the openings? I'm thinking something like a 265/70/R15 for the rear & maybe a 260/70/R15 for the front. Thoughts?

    I am thinking 225 45 r18. I just put them on mine and it fills the wheel wells nice plus you can slam it with them. Bigger rims update the van and give it a performance look which I like.

    I do get the vintage look so what you are talking about sounds good to me, but your tire sizes are so close to the same size, you should probably buy the same all the way around so you can rotate them, or make them different enough in size that you will be able to tell the fronts are smaller. Plus, I don't know if they even make a 269 70 r15.

    There should be lots of guys who can chim in on nice vintage tire and wheel sizing.

    There was a thread not long ago with all sorts of options and pictures. I would try and search for it.
