stock 15' Rims

I never seen any wheels made bigger than 40 inches. How'd you manage to get 15 foot wheels? I think that's taller than my garage.

Re: stock 15' Rims

Give the guy a break. Spelling, punctuation, abbreviations , terminology ,etc is important on this site. ( '= ft. )( " = in. ) Personally I prefer a staggered look . Maybe 215s up front with 235s rear. I'm running 15"x 7" wheels up front with 235/60r15 tires and 15"x 8" wheels in the rear with 255/60r15s . I like that style stance. Others prefer the all around lowered look. To each there own.

I was kidding anyway. I like a staggered look too. The size difference isn't very noticeable on the Mustang, but it has 265s up front and 285s out back. IROC just has 245s all the way around.

Re: stock 15' Rims

Well, for me 15 inch rims suck...but they're what I'm stuck with for now. If I were to buy tires for my stock height T/A I would get 4 235/60 15s. They are the same height as stock (26") but have a wider, fatter look. I never really liked the 215/65s on the T/As, they should have came with 17s from day one.
You could do something like a 255/60 15 for the back and a 235/60 15 for the front for a "big and little" look with no clearance problems.
