Wheel and tires setup

What size wheel and tire work on a stock suspension?
What set up are you running?

Mattb:
I have a 77  sedan and like the “ magnum” wheel look.  Went with the Magnum 400 wheel that is available that fits the Pinto lug spacing(4x4.25).  Wanted to keep approximate  stock tire diameter so went with 185-60-15.  If you like the RWL look Radial ta’s come in 195-60-15.  Both sizes should keep stock speedometer accurate( assuming it already is). Based on my experience with a Mustang II ( but not on the Pinto), you could probably go with 205-60-15 tires with these wheels but would need to change the driven gear at the end of the speedometer cable by one tooth to keep the speedometer spot on.

ALL Pintos came with 13 inch wheels and tires.  Many people switched them up to 14" or 15", but the originals were 13".
