Re: New wheels and tires-Keep vintage look or restore?

This may be a dumb question but I am going to ask it anyway..

Why does everyone put larger wheels on the backs than the fronts? Is there something I'm not catching on to? I plan on keeping the same outer diameter wheels just wider in the back. Is there an actual reason to offsize the wheels, or is it because some people prefer the rakish look when the rear end is slightly higher than the front end?

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience, well......that comes from bad judgment.


1968 Chevy C-10 "Longshot": Bought used from my Uncle George in 1994 and proceeding to beat the hell out of it for 4 years. Sold it. Bought it back, dumped an ungodly amount of money into it since then.
