Who runs 15x7 draglites in front?? tire sizes?

87lc2 · Mar 3, 2006

im running 15x7 draglites in the front and 15x8 in the rear. im thinking either 245 60 15 or 255 60 15 in the rear, but im not sure about the front...what would look best 215 60 15 or 215 65 15? any pictures would help out a lot. pictures of 245 60's or 255 60's would help too, im not absolutely sure there either
thanks

225 60's in front and 275's on 8 inch wide in rear.

I'd go 225/60 on the front and 245s on the back.

This is 15x7, 4.5" backspacing on the front with 215/60/15's. The rears are 15x8, 5.5" backspacing with 265/50/15's.

Thanks! The only rubbing I had was on the tailpipes - this was with the DynoMax exhaust. I now have a Flowmaster cat-back, and have tons of room. With your backspacing, I would watch out for hitting the fender lips....you might need to roll them. It seems like every car is a little different, though.

i test fitted the rears (4.5 backspace) with the junk tires that came on them and they looked like crap!!! stuck out horribly....so i sold them today and am going to order new 15x8s for the rear with 5.5 backspace. is your car lowered at all? i think 265 50s might be a bit short for mine, its sits kind of high, and i dont really want to lower it. i think im going to go with the 255 60s...thanks for the help though

My car isn't lowered, technically. The MegaBite Jr. control arms do drop the back a little, though. The 265/50's are 25.5", same as the stock tire height. The 255/60's are 27"..........
