I would have done this all at once, but I don't run a hedge fund.

ok, staggerred wheel sizes...the fronts look awefully close to 20's, but that's a great alternative, since 20's up front kind of look out of place on the Pcar for sure...
IMO, the tires are a bit thin on the sidewall, but if the ride is fine and potholes aren't a big problem where you drive...go for it.

what size tires are you running F / R ?

Great looking car. Really glad you decided not to cut the springs.

That rear tire looks really streched over the rim in the first pic.

Probably why the fit works back there.

Enjoy.

Thank you! Incidentally these car's are very photogenic! I swear the car was coming on to me while I was taking snapshots. Maybe I'm high on exhaust fumes..
