Re: Will These Wheels/Tires Fit

ok in that case yes you can just flip them and they will be black...it looks MUCH better in my opinion than having white walls showing. So it will def look good shined up...if you go with 235s all the way around (good idea by the way) then i would tell you to go with 235 60 15s for sure...if you decide to go a little wider we can try to get closer to the overall stock diameter

but 235 60 15s are pretty close to what youd want...i think a wider tire would look a bit better but they are harder to find in 15" sizes so the 235s might be the best bet

How impossible is it to fit a 275 60 15 in the front? 28in tall and that wide doesn't seem like it'll tuck but is it possible?

Re: Will These Wheels/Tires Fit

If you read my previous posts I said I was going with 235/60/15 you really think i would put 275s in the front? I got the wheels today and they look great, except i thought the center cap would be black...but anyway should i leave the white lettering in or out?

you must be crazy to try put a 275/60-15 on the front.. you will have the turning radius of a bus.. thats if it doesnt rub to begin with..


as for the lettering.. i'm a black kinda guy.. unless its the hoosier i'll be running this summer..

Re: Will These Wheels/Tires Fit

Celticsfan I really don't care what you're doing I just wanted clarification that the tires wouldn't fit. I have 4 Mastercraft 275 60 15's and this post was the one that came up on my search. I'm getting a pair of 235's thanks for the post it was informative.

Re: Will These Wheels/Tires Fit

Well i got the tires/wheels on today look great!

Did one of the stupidest things after tho as i was backing out of the garage i started to turn too soon wasnt really paying attention...Boom! ****ing nail the side of the garage with the passenger fender! You dont know how mad I am so now I have to wait a few weeks to get it fixed(hopefully for Free) and if anyone asks hit and run in a parking lot...
