Iyzak · Nov 1, 2011

fronts will be 15x7 bs 4.250in

rears will be 15x10 bs 5.5in

i just dont wana rub

fronts i dont want big just something that will fit the fronts
backs i want as wide/ tall as i can get with still having not to do any modifications to my rear end/car

leaning towards a 94/95 and bored at work so looking at options
might go with a old school looking rim

thanks

do you mean big as in wide or big as in tall.

you do not want a tall tire unless you have a lot of gear

I ran the "old school look" i think you are talking about.

My times in signature are with a nitto 555R
275/50-15 on an 8 inch rim.

My friend had the taller 275/60-15 which is around a 27.1 inch tire or so. You will want at least 4.10s with this tire if not 4.30s. They will hook at 15-20 psi

My fronts I ran 3.5s with a 165mm superbeetle tire. The above mentioned friend ran 5 inch fronts with a 185.

here you go in 17s

I would run 245-275s on the front and 295-315s on the back. These are even more affordable, Unless you really want 15s for some reason.

In order to get a bigger tire in there, you are really going to need a 6.5" backspacing.

You should be able to, but every car is a little different. You will probably have to roll the inner fender, and remove the quad shocks. I do know that everyone with the biggest tires is running a 6.5" backspacing. There are definitely Mustangs out there with a 305/50R-15, without any tubbing. My drag rims are 15" x 10" with a 6.5" backspacing. Unfortunately, that's not too helpful to you, because I only have a 10" tire on them.

in my opinion, that's a nice choice, I think it would not only give the sexy look but a sexy and wild look...!
