There has been lots of threads on tire and gear combination. lots of good input, I recently acquired some mag 500 15 X7 rims, i was running 14x6 with 21560r 14 with stock gears2.79. I found them to low after dropping front end 1 inch. Good off the line, busy on hwy, i put 225 70r 15 on the back and 215 65r 15 in front, Wow it gave me the stance that i was looking for after putting on load leveler shocks in back, since back tires are a tall tire, i changed out the gears to 3.50, and installed shift kit 2500 stall converter, what a different car, lots of power off the line and hwy cruising 2800 rpm at 65 mph. i have a 302 4v headers mild cam, and No tire rub. I just wanted to thank all of this group over the years inputting there findings and results, It helped me out immensly. thx :smile: Roland

Wow.....that is almost the exact setup we have on our Calspec 302-4V. The only difference is the 3.20 gears in the back, other than that everything else even the tire are the same. I agree it real has changed the car
