hey guys, I am getting new tires for the front of my cuda. Wondering if anybody is running skinny's up front and how tall can you go without steering problems? I have only a 25" tall on there now and would like to go to a 27"-28". Have 29" 12.50's on the rear. Thanks

that is the size I have on it now. Handles good but I want to put a taller tire on it to get rid of some of the rake

Interference will likely come at the bottom front corner of the wheel openings. Usually it's easy to trim that area with some snips without ruining the paint (just smooth and touch up the edge), and it's usually not very visible.

If you could still get a 195/75-15, which is 26.5" tall (approx), I'd say try that. Tall and thin. But, I can't find them anywhere any longer, so maybe a 205/75-15, which is 27" tall (again, approx). It fits on anywhere from a 5" wide to a 7" wide rim, I believe. Might need to do a little trimming, though, I'm not sure. Try test fitting first.
