Default Skinnies

Hey dudes, I've got a set of M/T ET fronts that i want to use and they are the 15X4X26, but they look like they may be too big. M/T shows a total diameter of 25.9. I was thinking i may go with the 15X4X25 which are 25.3 total diameter. I will be running M/T 15X10X26 ET Streets in the rear and most likely have to go to 28" later next year. Just wanted to see what most people are using for the tire size in the front when using skinnies. Thanks for any advice in advance.

Too big for what? The rim or the wheel well.
I run these tires on Bogarts 15x3.5's they fit the rim and the wheel wells on my lowered Z.

My question was, will they be too big for the wheel well, sorry for not clarifying. The back hasn't been much of a concern, but since the front wheel obviously turn, i don't want the tires rubbing anywhere. ONGRNGO, i've never put a link to a pic in a forum before, not sure how it works, but here are some links to the pics....

The size on the rear is 15X7.5 5" back space part number 005755547, and the slick is a M/T ET Street 26X10.5X15 part number 3752, i'm sorry i don't have the tube number off hand. This is the only combination that i found that would tuck under the wheel well in the back without any modification. I believe 28" tall would fit as well, but width i'm not sure about.

I'm running the same skinny tires in front of mine with MT Slicks. No problems. Doesn't trigger any ABS codes either like my old VW tires did.
