it's pritty hard to get big wheels and tires one these old skools wit stock suspension, I have sum 15 by 8.5's on mine and I hit with alot of weight in the car. You have to really upgrade suspension to be able to go any bigger than that, and it's expensive. That's why I havnt done suspension yet

LOL. No. A mini tub with a Martz Chassis 4 link.

The problem is that you run into the leaf spring. Some guys will relocate the leaf springs. You could also run a mild fender flare but I assume you're looking to keep the stock body lines.

I have 235/60r15 on the rear and 225/50r15 upfront. I'll get a little rub on the rear on the wheelwell lip if I have people back there and hit a good size bump. Other than that it's all good.

235/60/15 back and fronts are 205/60/15
i don't know how much bigger I can go on stock suspension (brand new) I wanted to go 255 in the back but didn't know if I was gonna hit my leaf springs.
