I run the above 205's on the back of my 35, 175R 75 16 on front. Big and littles.

The only thing is they are small diameter Brian . they would be about 700mm compared to 800mm ..
Maybe I could reband the rims to suit a bigger radial tyre and still be in front? Damn I had some real good F150 rims that I sold I could of played with those I guess.. Just really liked the traditional look of the Firestones, and they've never let me down..
