Default correct b/s for 1" drop coils???

What b/s will I need to run 225/60-15 on a 15x7 if I install some 1" drop 620 rate springs???

I checked the chart in FAQ but no one had the same setup....Is anyone here using this setup?

Well, I don't have the same setup to the "T" but, I did install the drop springs with 225x45-17's on bullet rims and these fit fine. I would not go bigger in width or OD than that.

you will want 4.25 backspacing on the 15x7 wheel to fit the 225 60 15.

215 60 15 rubs the fenders requiring them to be rolled if you only run 3.75 backspacing...so that means a 225 will produce the same or worse results. With the additional .5 bs you can prob get by without rubbing at the best and rolled lips at the worst
