Do all the sizes look correct?

I wouldn't mix radials on the back and bias ply on the front. You might want to get these for the front instead.

You're welcome. You will like the SR radials. I have them on the front of my car. I put them on after having some M/T front runners for awhile and then some cheap arizonian radials. The M/T SR tires made my car feel more stable and I felt better about them being speed rated vs the cheap radials.

Do you intend on using spacers and/or griding the brakes to make them fit?

These wheels are supposed to clear 99% of the way (which is a big plus). I hear people have had to grind just a little tiny bit for them to fit 100% which I am fine with.

Just make sure those wheels are the ones that are made for medium pad heights. Other than it looks good. I just put them on mine about a month ago. I went with the MT street 275/60-15 radial (28") and did the Mickey Thompson S/R radials on the front. The S/R radials are great for street driving.

or just buy and anti roll sway bar and be done....... but ya that order looks good, if i were you i would not buy the slp line lock and go with the sjm abs delete with line lock for the same price and you can get rid of the abs and weight for the same price and since your running 26" front tires and 28" in the back you have nothing to lose anyways on the abs delete kit. just my thoughts

Looks good to me!! I ran the exact tire setup on my NBM car for a while with no issues.
