Send me a few license plate frames if you got any laying around and I'll rock those too.

Looks great John. What is your ride height relative to stock, approximately? How many inches lower than stock?

I have a 69 Chevelle and really like your stance!

You know I'm not sure since that's how the car sat when I bought it in 2001.
If I had to guess,I'd say it's at least 2-3 inches lower than stock but I'd be happy to measure for you if you'd like.
A couple of guys thought I should lower it even further but I like the ride height right where it is...especially on the Nor Cal roads I travel on.

Thanks John....no need to measure. That's about what I thought. I think that combo would look good on my 69 as well. I'll be about 2-3 inches lower than stock too. I was going to go with 315/30/18 in the rear but I don't think that would give me enough sidewall.

postino - youre right..... not enough sidewall and waaaayyy too short of a tire imho. look for something closer to the the 27" range. im personally going with a 305/35/20 which is 28.4" tall. yours comes out to about 25.4. my front tires are taller than that.
