I want to change the wheel tire combination on my street driven 56 fairlane. I am currently using 215 x 75x 15 smoothies.

I want to go to a 17 or 18" wheel tire combo.



Have any of you gone this route? if so what are the combo's you are using?

Wheel Dia ??

Tire Size ??

Wheel rim width??



Thanks for your help!



Jim
