These are the 265 50 15s that were on my car when I got it. Unfortunately it's in the air so you can't really tell how it looks.

I didn't care for the way the sidewalls bulged out. If the rim was widened by about an inch or so it wouldn't be so bad.

I have 265's on the rear rims. They look pretty good, I think. They came with the car and I'm keeping them for as long as they last. They fit well and don't rub or anything.

Oh, and I got some stupid ugly 205's on the front. :shrug:
Hope this helps.

265/50r15 is going to be just about the same OD as the 235/60r15's. But the tire is definetely going to be wider
I'd recommend 15x8's, at least.
Now what about 295/50r15's anybody got them on there car? And what backspacing do you use to keep them from rubbing the lip of the fender?
