BFH mod, roll the lip depending on how low the car is.

Yeah, the rears look to be 15x10 with a 7.5 BS, and I'd say the fronts are 15x4 or 4.5.

You could do a 275 or a 295 size tire for the rears. I run a 275/50/15 on mine and love them. Fit fine without having to do any modifications. I would think you'll want a 26" tall tire, or else you're going to have ABS issues.

Well I got 275 on my stock rims right now, and I was hoping to go a little wider for performance and looks.

You could likely get as big as a 325 size tire to fit, but it will likely require you to do the BFH mod, which is where you take a big *** hammer and hammer the **** out of the inner fenders in order for the tire to clear. I did that to mine back when I had 325 size tires on my old CCW setup. Not a big deal. Just hammer the **** out of it, make sure they clear, and then re-paint the whole inner fender area.

You can't see that area once the wheels are on, but like I said in my previous post, you will want to paint over it to make it look uniform and prevent rust. All you are doing is hitting the area where the tire rubs the inner fenderwell so that the tire will not rub. Lots of people do it everyday. It's not like you're banging fhe **** out of the outside body of the car.
