    I Know I'll Probably get shit for this, but...

    i have an '85 eta with:
    1 1/4" drop
    new ET25 17x7 wheels.

    so my question is this: what is the range of tire sizes i could use for this rim, and what would be optimal. I know this should prolly be in the wheel section :oops: , but lets face it- general discussion is where its at, and i need a quick answer 'cause im buying wheels tonight. so i apologize ahead of time, and look foward to your answers.

    thanks a ton
    (please dont ban me)

                      why would you want that size? The overall diameter of the tire would be larger than stock, thus making your speedometer less accurate and raise your gearing, making you accellerate slower. Plus, it would more likely rub.
