I got a 1990, just put the Kyb gr2's. Im gonna get new tires and was wondering how thick i could go in front? Im gonna keep the height at 60. I have the 15 inch rims. I just dont want the tire rubbing on anything when i turn. And of course I want to get really thick tires on back, i just got me a lsd on ebay so i want more traction. :ylsuper

help me out

i wouldnt go more than 205 on the back with the stock rims. dunno if you could go 215, but i doubt it. 205s all round would be your best bet id think.
