Could some of you post up pics of your 15inch wheel and tire combos,(sizes included) I'm trying to find out what size tires will look the best on my car, I'm ordering my 15X8 w/5.5b.s. rear and 15X6 w/3.5b.s. front draglites pretty soon and I don't want to order tires and hate the way they look on the car. Or could some of you recommend some good sizes, I want to go as wide as I can in the rear but without alot of sidewall bulge, I would like around a 9to 10 inch section width out back.

I had 245 * 60 * 15 out back and then a 180 * 60 * 15 up front mounted on 15 * 8's out back and 15*5's up front!
I have more photos if you want any. if i ever get to buy new tires it will probly be 275 * 50s out back and another set of 180 * 60 up front It may be 185s up front but im not sure right now! i know its around that! Hope those work!

If you haven't ordered your rims yet, get a 10" rim w/ 6.5" of BS, you wont regret it. I'm running a 275/50/15 Nitto on my Prostars... They are great, except on a fox it looks better with a275/60/15.
I'm getting a half inch wheel spacer outback, and put on some 295's when I need new tires.

What kind of backspacing do you have? I'm assuming 5.5 out back but whats the front, I may go ahead and get a 15X5 for the front?
Hickfied, Won't a 15X10 Cause some pretty good rubing issues? I've heard some say they have slight rubbing with the 15X8's, I don't want any tire sticking out, I like the tucked look out back.

That's my car w/ 10" and 3.5". No tire sticking out the side, and no rubbing.
I used to get some rubbing when there was a side-to-side movement of the axle, and the body was dipping down, but a little hammering (not even a 1/8") and now no rubbing anytime. you could see a defient line where the rubbing was, looked like where the wheel housing was meeting the trunk pan.

Are you sure those are 10's, not saying they aren't but they look like 8's in the pic.

They are deff 10's.... They sat in my garage for 6 months before I could get them mount... I measured the width and BS numerous times mocking up against a 4 lug car I had.
