The back Are 15x10. right now the space is limited but im putting a 4th gen rear under the car so i should be able to use a nice wide tire.

Oh yea.The front. Hmmm... Don't know much about what is available for rims that size,but if I would have to make a guess,I would say around 165,maybe even as skinny as 145.Just an educated guess though

Thanks for the help. I thinkim just going to sell the wheels cause the more i think about it they just arent safe for street use. I guess i should have thought about it a little more before i bought them but oh well.
