It was a 245/30/20 front, and I bent a rim after only one month. Won't do that ever again. I am currently running a 245/35/19 on the front of my chevelle, with a 285/30/20 rear, and it's a little harsher than the 17's that were on it before, but I can deal with this set up. Suspension is set up right though which makes the real difference. Global West uppers, lowers, with springs, and gas shocks. I plan on upgrading to Vari-shocks from Chris Alston's so I can dial in the ride a little better.

I just did poly bushings and went to 18" rims w 235 & 275/40's series tires from 15 and 60's and the ride was very different (harsh). Initially I thought it was from the change in bushings but I reduced the tire pressure from 48 psi down to 35 psi and it made a world of difference cruising around.
