Somewhat drag look?

Need tire advice. Current 235/60-15, front and rear. 15x7 front 15x8 rear. Looking for a slight old
school drag look. Only pic I have now. Thinking 215/65 front. And 245/60 or 255/60. Rear. Would this be to tall in rear? My current tires are really bald so they look small. I’m over thinking this. I’m so confused.

Re: Somewhat drag look?

Are you going to be drag racing the majority of the time? If not, reducing the surface area of your front contact patch is a bad idea. I'd stick with what you've got in the front and go as big as you can in the back. Note that this will affect your overall gear ratio and subsequently speedometer accuracy.
