I recently bought an 88 LX with the 10 hole rims and the previous owner also gave me a set of Prime ( Weld Draglite look a likes)15x7 rims. I plan on putting 215/65/15's up front. I want to put 275/50/15's on the rear. BFG's recommedation are 7.5-9.5 rim. My question is besides a little bulge over the rim will there be any problems with the tire fitting the rims, or rubbing in the wheel well or exhaust? I will be installing a flowmaster exhaust soon.

you ca put 225's up front. a 275 is a huge tire for a 7 inch wide rim. a 8 inch wide rim is perfect. i would only go 255's on rear.

255's is all u would want if the car is going to see the road alot. but if its mostly going to be a track car then some people go 275's
