275/60/15, 205/70/15 driveability

Ok, Im considering 275/60/15 rear street tires on a 15x8 4.5"bs Weld Pro Star wheel on the rear, and 205/70/15 on a 15x5 3.5"bs on the front of my 85 T/A. How drivable will the be? Will it be to unstable on the highway?

this is the exact combo i'm running except i'm using a stock 15x7 z28 wheel all the way around. i love the combo. i think that having the 15x5's will be just fine.

want to say that is the same front wheel/tire combo tunedport335 is running, and last i knew, he daily drove his in the summer.

all in all, you'll be very happy with the looks of the car and it will handle just fine.

Pretty sure he is running 245/60/15 rear tires, with the 205/70/15 fronts.

On my 89 right now I have 245's front and 275's rear. Not complaining at all, rides really nice and quiet now. I'm also running on 17x8 wheels as well though......
