Why? Lot's of people run larger rear tires on non-stock stuff. I've never had a vehicle w/the same size tires front/rear in 37years of driving.

50's, 60's, 70's series are just the sidewall ratio of the tire width. You can mathematically have several different combos that all yield a similar overall height.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Mainly because I don’t want different heights throwing off the levelled drop I want to accomplish. That rake I have has to go lol. But something I learned about different combos of ratios giving similar heights . I would run only wider tires in the back and not higher. But everything is a learning experience. I’ll eventually find the right drop and tires!
