Welcome to TGO! Nice car!

....I'd suggest finding wheels first. Then from there, you can decide what size tires you wanna run.

Re: What size tires

Measure up for tire first, then get the wheel.

Yeah, I think QwkTrip is probably right. My thinking was that you'd grab a set of wheels of eBay or CL/FBM or something and go from there. -in which case I'd just put on as big a tire as I can properly fit. BUT.....he's right. Whether you're looking to spend $500 on some used IROCS or $5000 on some custom forged wheels, ya really need to start with tires.

thanks guys I found a wheel and tire package I want it’s got 15 by 8 wheels up front with LT235/75 and the back is 15by 10 with 31 by 10.5 tires The front will be the same that is on it right now I’m just afraid 31s in the back will rub
