Front Lower?
275 60R 15 rear and 225 60R15 front. My question is, should the nose of the car be lower? My idea is, to get the front end up so our great Canadian roads don't ruin header pipes.

Thanks, Ted

Compared to what? If you like the stance and the tires don't rub then you are OK.
Also, tire height matters but the most effective way to raise or lower a car is the coil springs.

Wow, I had no idea you could get that cool look with same diameter rims and just different tires.

Are both front and rear rims 8" wide?
