I run 7.00 15 on stock un tilted cars, tilted without any plates or kicker use something a tad smaller because we have had problems when the frame bends back with the tires hitting the crash box. Plated and tilted I would run the tallest I could fit.

What's the bumper height of the cars you run against? I prefer to max out the suspension for height and run the smallest tire I can.

All depends on the build and how you build it. If I use an adjustable suspension setup, I'll walk the pits, check out all the other cars and where there bumpers sit at, and adjust mine accordingly. If i run solid suspension on cars, I run at about 25-27 inches to the middle of the bumper. On my trucks, usually 28-30 to the middle of the bumper.
