Baja Front tyres?

I've got my rear's picked out but what would you use for fronts? I'd prefer to have same size tyres all round.

I've seen 235/75R15 and 195/80R15 used well but they both have lots of height in the front end as well.

I run 235/75R15's on the front, but they're still not the same height as the rear tyres. You wouldn't want to go any bigger on a registered car though. You'd have no turning circle with anything bigger unless you widened the beam.

oh, and unless you want your headlights pushed out of your front guards, you will need a 2" lift kit to run 235/75R15's. I have a 2 inch body lift and raised suspension and my front tyres still lightly rub on the back of the headlights at full compression.

my bug eye kit doesnt have the headlights in the nose cone i have buggy lights. therefore i have more room under my guards and it is still legal.
