I decided I wanted larger tires than the Cruiser came with.
I realized the best way to make the tires look larger is to use smaller wheels.
I ordered some 15" smoothies from Moss motors and then bought my tires to match the "HOT ROD" look I wanted. The front tires need to have the same circumference as the manufacturers tires. So the fronts are 205/60r15's but the back tires are 235/60r15's. Sets it up a little more in the rear......
just curious.....any problems with this setup yet? I believe you have a LE with ABS/traction control and the above combination represents about a 5% difference in front/rear diameter relative to a recommended 3% cutoff for the ABS system to work right. (my guess is the 3% limit is being conservative)
