That's good to know(less money)! I might get a little better clearance if I run a 15x6.50x8 on there too maybe... I dunno just gotta mess with it! Can't decide if I want to run 13x6.50x6 on the front and 15x6.50x8 on the back or if I want to run 15x6x6 on the front and 16x7.50x8 on the rear. We shall see!!

Running 13x6.50x6 on the front and 16x7.50x8 on the rear your frame will be fairly close to level.
By running the 15x6.50x8 on the rear the front of your chassis might be a little higher.

I think he's running a transaxle mounted in the original position, that isn't cut up into the frame.

It would still cause a rake in it . You know what I mean factory is 15's on the front, and 18's on the rear with the frame level, if he drops the rear tire 3 inches in dia it will drop the rear end 1 1/2 inches or so. If I am thinking right.

Remember that when you go to a smaller tire it is going to change your final gear ratio. You will probably find yourself reaching down for another gear.
Make these adjustments beforehand so you don't over rev the motor as your going to top out before you did before.
