Wheels and Tires

One of the first things to go was the 195/75 14 wheels and tires. I want to keep the van stock looking so no fancy aftermarket wheels, what should I do? I decided to put the "eggshell" wheels off of my Lebaron on it, then I put on some new 205/65 15 B F Goodrich Traction T/A's.   I went from being scared going around corners and tire smoking starts to nice confident cornering and nice spin free launches (at the stock boost level) What a huge improvement! For drag racing I picked up another pair of rims and got a set of 225/50-15 BFG Drag radials they look really tough on there, unfortunately I only was able to pick up about 1 tenth in my 60 foot times with them. I think I will have to try some slicks next year.

The LeBaron wheels, tinted windows and the rear sitting a little higher from losing some weight in the back. You may also notice the missing "turbo" stickers.
