Are you asking about the largest tire or the largest wheel / rim? What Rim size do you currently have or want to use?

Fitting a larger tire / wheel to any car can be tricky, rim size and off-set is important so please provide more information.

Doc- I was hoping to go w/ centerline 31/2 inch rims on front but I believe they are only available in 15" for small bolt pattern. I was wondering if a 15" rim would work on the rear? Any suggestions you could provide would be appreciated. I checked out your bristol gallery pics which are great, and noticed Oscar Derrick's car. would you know what combination he is using?? -Thanks in advance

Dave,
I have a 62 Lancer and the Centerline 3.5 with 165 x 15 on them, If I get a moment I will stick them on my Lancer to see how they fit.
My bet is that you can get these to work in front.

Do you know what off-set and rim width size you have for the rears?

Dave,

Almost all of the Slant racers use 15" rims front and rear. You can easily go with a 15X8 as long as you are careful with backspacing and tire size.
