I had 225/75R15's on my old hardtop with flat springs and it had good low range still. |

I've got a n/t (lower diff ratios) and 235/75/15 (29") work very well for me |

You can put 235/75/15 on stock rims no probs, But I have 15/7" rims (wanted more offset) But 225/75/15 (28") proby better with the 1.3 carb, that's want useto run on stock rims before I did the Motor upgrade and they pretty good man, still good lowrange |

KL71 in 215/75r15... above 215's you need gearing IMO (or more torque, like a 1.6 conversion). |
