So i have to go back to my stock rims since i can't find any 15x7 centerlines for a decent price... while i'm at it i'd like to upgrade the rear 2 tires. What's the widest tire i can fit on there while keeping a similar overall tire height?

right now i have 275.60.15's and they're ok but i'd like something a little wider..


Opnions?

 

on a 15x7 wheel, 275/60 is as wide as you can go.

 

Sorry to bring back an old post but i'm getting new rims in the morning...

what's the widest tire i can fit on a 15x9" rim?

they have 255.60.15's on them now...can i go into the 300's ?

 

Oh NO! "its Joe Dierte, not Joe dirt"

Sorry man I just have something against overly wide tires that look like 90's CARTOONS illustrations. Save your money for something that fits well, and looks good - then buy some up to date wheels, or even stock (GTA's).

 

i'm white trash, so I like that look...

anyway, yea, 305's should fit a 15x9 wheel. I think going that big you have to pay attention to backspacing, so the inner part fits in the rear well without rubbing.
which tire brand/model you thinking of?

 

Joe Dirt is one of my many nicknames at work


here are the new rims.. they need cleaned up a little and the car needs a bath too...



they are late 60's/early 70's Fenton rims. They are very lightweight (the rears weigh less than my old Draglites)

 

el drool drool!
