135 on the front yeh but havent been in one with only 145's on the rear, i think the beetle i cruised in had 165's :duh on the rear.....hhhmmmm

you gotta rember if its going to be low (like adams) the the rear contact area of the tyres is lessend by the negitive camber, this is especially bad on wet days, and trying to stop in a hurry.

Yeah, it is a cool thing, but remember the safety thing too.
John Jones from KCW is running 125's all round on his Notch.. But he lives in the desert.. 🙂

You remove a fair bit of safety and braking when whacking the 135's on the front in the first place. I dunno... Maybe I am getting old.. :duh

I bought another 95/110 R 15 the other week, so I'm thinking 95s on the front and 125s on the rear!

Do it sam the looks mad and always works on any slammed dub.As for safety just take it easy in the wet and all is fine,I must ask though your rims must be 4.5 or under for this to work if your running 5.0 or 5.5 run 145 at the front and street slicks on the ass...only joking maybe 155 or 165 on the rear.peace
hey rhette i thought you retired the purple people eater.50 cent is wak ..peace
