1973 Chevy Step Van Project

[PrestigeMike]

We've been working on this project for the last couple weeks getting it ready for an event and this is the first time we've been working on this type of vehicle. Not sure how it works but I believe I attached images of how it looked when I got it. Didn't look too bad until we started grinding down the body....man...nightmare. Anyways, since I'm writing this post during the build I had a question maybe someone can answer.

I bought 15x8 smoothies for the van. What tire size should I get? Currently I have 235/75/15 on a more narrow wheel (not sure the width) Also, I wanted to lower the vehicle instead of bagging it due to time restraints. Eibach makes springs and rear shackles to lower the vehicle 2" so I'd like to have the stance look good with the wheels/tires. Any help?

Tell me you painted "free candy" on it and blacked out the windows! What stance do you want? Level? Rake? hot rod? la Raza? have you test fitted the wheels for clearance? Should be the same as truck parts=Spindles, move shackles/flip kit. How low ya wanna be? 255/60/15 looks good, esp. in a radial t/a. 245'll work if it's tight. you can go to 275 in the back for the fat look.

As of right now I only have time to use the springs and shackles which will lower the front and rear 2". Saying that, I need to get tires accordingly. What do you recommend? I have to buy today lol

275 60 15 rear and 245 60 15 front would look good.
