Hmmm!  What's the difference between back and rear.  I hate to ask, but Paul, 
what do you run on the front? And how many rears do you have"

We have a 1962 double cab. Lowered with drop spindles, beam is not narrowed. We 
have 165/45 on the front and 165/50 or 55 on the rear. We don't have rubbing 
issues. The tires we run are Federal Formoza FD1. We can only find them online. 
We order them from tires-easy.com. Fredo & Cathy

Hi,

My bus isn't lowered but I want the option to lower it like Eric's bus. I got 
the 15" bus wheels back from the powder coater. Now for some tires. 

Seems like the narrowest tire I can find that is XL rated is 195/70R15 or 
205/65R15. I prefer the shorter sidewall but am worried about rubbing with 
205's.

Anyone here with 15s and a lowered bus?
 What size tire?

Thanks,
Conrad
