Default tallest and widest 3.5x15 skinny?

I have been searching with no luck.

I am looking to see how tall and wide of a tire I can put on my 3.5x15 skinny.

I currently run a 195/65/15 and would like to go taller, if not wider.

Thanks in advance,

Kev D

You can go all the way up to a 30" front tire for 15x3.5-15x4 rims. But it would look retarded, and I don't know why anyone would do it.

I'm not sure. But I've only seen one 4th gen with them and it looked super retarded, and he couldn't turn very well. Why don't you like 26s?

A few years ago I ran a wider tire I wanna say it was a 205 because I was having trouble finding the 195 size. this was on a 3.5 weld drag lite. It looked retarded to me. I would stay with the 195 65 15 if it were me.

If a car runs 28" on the rear and 26" on the front; will it cause ABS problems? What about on a 4 channel car? If the traction control is turned off, will there be a problem?
