well, i got the BFG g-Force Sport 225/60R15 + 215/50R15.

Let me know how those 225/60/15 tires fit..... from my experience it's a 50/50 shot that they'll be too large and rub.... usually on the front lower edge of the fender opening.

Good Luck!

The 225 is going in the back. 215 in the front. Wheels are 15x7 & 15x8. I check if the 15x8 fits in front! =)

I assumed the wider 50 series tires would be going on the rear....

OK, back from the dead. :lol

And, back to bedding the brakes...

I read the procedure provided in the links from Mark :!!.

Now, do I leave the proportional valve at roughly 75% front - 25% rear? Or, put it at 100% front?
Wondering, will the rear brakes be bedding correctly if @75%/25%?

I keep my prop lever where it's taking nothing away from the rear brakes when bedding the brakes.

Do you mean "taking nothing away" from the front brakes?

Do the rear disc brakes have to bedded?

You should have full fronts regardless of the prop valve. I run with as much rear brake as possible and the only time I've needed to back off the rears is when I'm running street tires and less then 1/2 tank of fuel (on track).
