New Forgeline RB3C. Tire size question... - Lateral-g Forums

I have a 66 Chevelle with standard width 12bolt and SC&C plus 2 suspension with stock spindles up front. I just received my forgeline RB3C in the mail and wondering what size tires I can get away with running.
I was thinking 275/35/19 on the rear and 235/45/18 up front.

Fronts are 18x8 with 4.7BS
Rears are 19x9 with 5.2BS.

Any help would be appreciated and any tire recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

I ran 245/40/18 front, 275/40/18 rear on my 66 I had a few years back. Nice little cruiser for awhile. Ran with some Boze Forged Tach wheels. I think they were 18x8 and 18x9?

Beautiful car... Do recall what the backspacing was?

I also would like to hear of personal reviews on some tire choices. All the reviews I can find on tires are with light cars and not heavy ass pig like my Chevelle.
