OK,

So I am looking for new rubber for my magnum 500s (15x7).

What I had on my stang issues such as, suspension grooved the inner from tires. The rear tires would skim the wheel well on tight turns. I found these issues as I have been rebuilding my car from the ground up.

Current setup I am trying to lose: (BF Goodrich T/A)

Front: 235 60R15 <-- never happy with these my control arm grooved the inner tire! I could have had a serious blowout. Discount tire apprently didn't care. This was the tire they suggested.
Rear: 295 50R 15. <--looked swesome but rubbed my wheel well apparently

I am older and wiser these 8 years later and am looking for a nice balanced look to the car. I like wider tires in front and rear and wouldn't mind a lower profile than I used to have. I wouldn't even mind if all four tires were the same size (or very close). I like an agressive balanced look these days.

Please give some suggestions and post pictures if possible.

Thanks
Mike
