What's biggest tire for stock rim?
Hey guys,

What's the biggest tire I can put on a 15x7 wheel?

I'm currently running 235/60/15's but for the future, if I don't pick up a set of those new snowflakes, what wider tire, if any, can I run on the stock 15" wheel?

Somewhere on here I saw a guy who put 275/60/R15s on a 15x7....way too much ballooning.

I've seen 245s on a 15x7 look good though. (not much different than 235s honestly).

Hmm, I may look into that. Eventually I'll be upgrading to 16's or 17's, but I really kind of like how the tires looks on my lowered car so I'm looing at options until i can afford to do wheels as well.
