I am getting some new rims, looking at getting Weld rts 15" x8.25" rim up front. Looking for a 255-265 performance tire for the front that is a 90% street driven car

also what backspacing size should i get for the 8.25" front wheel?

Good luck making that work.

what do you mean by that?

A) there's a strong possibility that a 15" wheel may not clear the front brake calipers; and

B) there haven't been any "high performance", in other words, "speed rated" 15" tires manufactured since the late 80s-very early '90s.......

The normal size rim to clear the front brakes is 15x3.5" and some still need spacers or grinding to fit. So you good like trying to get a 15x8 to clear and also if you're looking for a tire for handling you need to look into 17" or 18" rims.

would it hurt anything to run a 15" in back and a 17" in front

What, exactly, are you attempting to do?? If you provide some pertinent information, you might get some useful information in return............

you can run a 17,15 combo, thats what im going to do, your first idea will never work though

I have 15" wheels and if they would clear ls1 brakes I would have installed them years ago.

I had to grind calipers/wheels to make them clear ls1 rears.



Also there is no such thing as a "performance" 15" tire that is wider than 215-225 and those will be low profile for ricer cars. 15" wheels means you are either running shitty all seasons or drag radials.

It blows.

ya that what i have come to find out, looking trough TONS of tires online and cant find **** for a 245-265 in something halfway decent

may have to go 17s up front

I want to make my car look like a clown car, duh..

jk. obviously i am buying new wheels and want a 15" rim in rear so i can fit some fat tire with a nice sidewall on it. why else would i want 15s?

The rims i want arent made in a 16" rim or that would be my top pick

I don't know about anybody else on this forum, but I'm not a mind reader, so I don't know why you would want a 15" rim on your car......




Now, maybe if you said something like "I want to run drag radials on the rear, so I need to run a 15" rim on the rear", you might have gotten more fruitful information....

Not the same rim you have or for that matter rim size, but I do run a 17" front 16" rear and think it looks pretty good. So a larger front runner can look good.

M&H front runners and MT 315 rears.

went with a 17" x9.5 and 15x10.5 in the rears. Also ordered some 295/28"/15 Mickey thompson et street tires for the rear. Haven't decided on a front tire yet
