[DeTomaso] Maximum Tire Height

[Dan Courtney]

To clarify, I am not trying to permanently use taller wheels, this is just 
if I can enter the Silver State Challenge this weekend and get taller 
tires/wheels on the rear to lower the rpm.
Due to the feedback I am going to look for speed rated tires that will fit 
my front rims (15" x 10") and keep the same low profile, to avoid rubbing.
I know the 285 40 15's are out of production but perhaps I can find 
something narrower.
