Would you guys happen to be familiar with this van? Possibly know the wheel specs / setup in the attached pic? Looks like 15x7's in the front and 8's in the back? Any guess on tire size and drop? Maybe 2.5 - 3" drop spindle up font?

Thanks for your time!

I am not familiar with that van. Looks pretty sweet though. Can you contact who originally posted the photo ?

Man, I came across this pic on Pinterest and screenshot it. I wasn't able to trace the photo to a specific owner or any additional information. I definitely dig the stance and Im hoping to achieve something similar.

Fronts look like 6" wide, rear could be 8", nice looking Craigers, I had a set 35 years ago.

Looks like 7" reverse on front and 8" reverse on the back!

Yeah. If I had to guess...... I'd say 15" all around and 7" wide front with about a 3.5" back space and 8" wide rear with 4" back space. Front tire looks like a 70-205 or 215 the rears look like 60 series maybe 255's ????

That's a guess......opinions may vary.

I can only see one reason for narrow tires up front, manual steering, you really should run wide so you corner better, I know I have gotten to where I don't slow much in curves that I know, the banked ones, I hit the throttle. I want to know if 275/65 will look good on an 8" wide rim, or do I need a 10", I absolutely love the rake on a van.
