Wheel/Tire Question(s)
I currently have 16x8 inch rims. (stock size)
Front - 245/60/16
Rear - 255/55/16
I have been looking around at wheels, and all the good looking ones are 15inch. I noticed they are really wide, and I want wider tires on the back of my car. (without the bulge)
Can I go to 15 inch rims no problem? Also, what is the widest tire I can get up front and in rear? What is a good width to go with? 15x9, 15x10, 15x12?
I''ve been thinking about this setup:
BF Goodrich Radial T/A (I like that classic look)
Front - 255/60/15
Rear - 275/60/15
Will my car be able to run these tires, safetly? Help will be appreciated, thanks!
Another Question:
I really like the look of a 5 spoke and I really like this design.

Will these go on my car no problem? They are the correct bolt pattern, but wtf is backspacing, offset, etc.

What is the widest tire you can fit on a 17x8/18x8 rim? I found these and love the look of them, just the width bothers me. Can I fit a 275 on these? (For the rear only of course) http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/wheel...ubcat3=1011123
Thanks!

Re: Wheel/Tire Question(s)
1 the 15s will work if you want those size tires 15x9 front 15x10 rear
2 those wheels will work as far as the bolt pattern but you will need to get spacers whice are another $200 or so and
3 i think the widest tire confortably on a 8" wide rim is a 255 but im not sure about that one
----------
oh and btw those black 5 spoke wheels dont really look like that. the ones in the picture are 18s, the 17s dont have nearly as much of a lip than that and the spokes dont "curl" back as much i know i ordered them in 17s than returned them PROMPTLY

Re: Wheel/Tire Question(s)
Because I want a wider tire and all the 15s are wide where as there are no 16x10s. Of the ones I've found anyways.
----------
Well I don't like the curl of the spokes so are you saying the spokes are very straight? If so, I'm so getting them.
