Front & Rear Tire Size for 15x7

I am buying 4 15x7 wheels with 4" backspace. I have a stock suspension, but plan to drop a V8 in the front. Should lower a little. Also may adjust the rear after deciding on my tires.

Two set-up questions:

1) Best daily driver tire which can be rotated and get good, even tire wear. Been thinking 215/60/15

2) Best tires for a rake look? Been thinking 235/60/15 and 205/60/15. Can I get any more meat under the rear?

Thanks guys!

it is hard to fit any wider because you have 4 inch back spacing if you had 3 1/2 then you could have went a lot wider

 

on a 7" wheel Id probly go a 215/70/15 and a 225/70/15

or for more of a rake a 205/70/15 and a 235/70/15

 

No! I have 215/70/15 it rubs like crazy in the front!

 

Well,Excuse me..

 

what's your backspacing? ive run 215's in the front before w/o any issues....

 

Lol i was just kidding joe but idk what the back spacing is they are 15x7 cragar ss

 

I have 235/60/15's on the front of my car on 15x7's and it's lowered alot more than I like and I don't have any rubbing problems... thing is I can't remember how much backspacing I'm using... when I ordered the rims I remember asking for centerline so for a 7" wide rim I should have 3.5" of bs but I'm not sure... haven't bothered to pull one off and take a measurement of the bs... I plan on eventually running 235/60-15's on 15x7's w/ 3.5" bs all the way around.

 

Thanks for the responses.

 

235/60 front, 245/60 rear. The rear can go much wider if you're willing to do a little modification like helper springs, wider wheels or rolling the fender lips.

 

those look more like 8's or 10's
