Tires & Rims

15 x 8" with 5" of back spacing and 275/60/15's in the rear and 15 x 7" with 4" of back spacing and 235/60/15's in the front. This is a perfect match for a FGMC.

Why not a 245 or 255 up front and why not 8" rim up front?

 

Will a 295 fit w/ cut lips?

 

Thanks

you can get a 8" wheel up front, it's trail and error, all depends on the tire size and back space. Ride height of the front end comes into play here too

 

as for the 295...unless you raise the rear of the car above the tire

 

measure the distance between the lip and the inner fender, and find out what the 295 actual width is and do the math

 

the tread with of a 295 is approx 11 5/8", the actual with of the tire mounted will depend on the width of the wheel it's mounted on

Here's a pic of 325's w/o a lift

 

What size rim's tire's are on your car and do you have any more pics? It sure looks nice.

325 right? And there tucked w/o lifting.

He says he doesnt reccomend 325 but I think a 295 would be a happy medium between a 275 - 325.

 

So do I have it right

 

Rear 15X8 5"BS 295/50/15

Front 15X7 4"BS 255/60/15

I would say that is the best for the front and back with those tires. That is a very wide treaded tire...luckily the sidewall is not quite as wide as mine and you are over an inch shorter both helping you make them fit.

 

I would like to see them (pictures) after you get them on... cool

 

Here's a link to a few pictures of my tires, how tight they are, and how I did it...Click Here

Looks like

295's out back on 15x8 5" bs

255's up front on 15x7 4" bs

Too bad the dont make the Goodyear Eagle Nascar w/ the yellow letters for 15" anymore frown That would look legit

You could always use a yellow paint pen and color the white letters yellow.

 

Here's another picture of my tires...255/60/15 on 15x 7" rims with 4" of b.s. on the front and you already know the back ones.
