So, it appears my 89 Astro cargo came with a 205/75-15 tire. Right now I;m still going to use the wheels I have, which are 15x8. Van is lowered with spindles and maybe springs but I'm not sure about that part. I want something a little wider but don't want to go much lower than the stock size since it screws with the factory geometry. I had different sizes on it previously. I think I had 205/60-15s on the front and something taller on the rear for a rake. I think I want the same size all around, for now ( Not sure how the new motor setup will act with the current/stock gearing ) Just want to get it back on the road. i guess my question is what are others doing along those lines? At some point I want to go to a 16 inch rim and tire ( plus one ) but now, I just need to get it on the ground rolling. Suggestions? I have Boyds 15x8 directionals which is what I was running when it died. I also have a set of 8x15 stock truck rally wheels and moon discs that I'd reall like to try, but just a bare rim on the front seems way too close. Not sure what the back spacing is on either set, but I'd guess its around 4 inches? I've moved and the van is still in storage and I need to get it to it's new home before it gets too cold outside.
