Can someone post a 265/50/15 pic on a 7 inch wheel? The 8 inch rims I was offered are 7 inch now.

Considering that smallest recommended rim width is 7.5" and with a tread width that is 2" wider than your rim and a section width of 10.70" you might want to rethink this.

What size tires do you have on the front? A 235/60 is 26.1" tall not as short as you are looking for but 2" shorter than a 275/60 and 1" shorter than a 255/60

Yeah, a 8" rim would be most ideal but those have same section width as the MT ET Street slicks I had on 15"×7" SS3 rims. They had a bit bulge but not terrible. The 265/50R15 should be very close to the stock tire height as well.

Yes the reason for the 265/50/15 was to remain at or close to stock height. Thanks

I was using a tire size comparison table similar to the one you posted.........to find comparable sizes to stock height.
Thanks for the link.

I have a 255 60 15 on my 15x7 rims they fit great no rubbing anywhere.

Good part about a G body is a shorter, wide tire looks good. Can't say the same on my 70 Cutlass S, I could fit 30" x 12" tires in there. The current 26" tall by 10.5" wide on 10" wide rims are barely adequate. I had 235/60R14 front and 245/60R14 rear on my factory 14"x 6" rims they looked good on my 88 Cutlass. If you had the factory 14" aluminum rims, which look nice I would suggest that combo. Also stock height at 25" and 25.5" heights. Here is a pic with that tire combo. I now have 205/70R14 front and 225/70R14 rear which also looks good.

I do have the OEM Hurst wheels in 14 inch. But they need a complete refurbishing..........and I am not crazy about the looks.

This why I am going to 15 inch and I've always liked the Olds Super Stock look. I'm just trying to find a good combination of a 15 inch
tire that can give me the big rear smaller front look. Sadly I thought I had 8 inch rear rims from a seller but they turned out to be
7 inch.

I'll get to that place I want after I've weighed my options. Thanks for the pics........and sizes you posted. Your post is more helpful
than others who just pose opinions.
