Jon, All those pics confirm my fear. There isn't enough sidewall on that 245/35/19. Kentucky roads are bad. I already am worried about bending a wheel.

So that 245/35/19 has a 3.4 sidewall and is 25.8 inches tall. I need some more height in the front so what about a 245/40/19 which equals 3.9 sidewall and 26.7 tall and use that with a 305/35/20 rear which is 4.2 sidewall and 28.4 tall. I know what you are going to say. Nitto doesn't make that size which means I would have to go with an unmatched set which I am ok with as long as it didn't look too weird.

Maybe I will go back to the Foose 71 Chevelle sizes which is a 255/40/19 with 4.0 sidewall and 27.0 tall and a 295/40/20 rear which is 4.6 and 29.3 tall. What do you think about all of this?

Agreed, what was done on the first Overhaulin Chevelle is a nice front tire, with more sidewall, if that is what you are looking for. I kind of like the smaller profile front tire, but we roll around on California roads all day.
