What are some of the tires sizes you guys are using on stock 15" wheels on your cars. I just got a set of factory rallys for my 85 442, and looking to keep the diameter of the tire as close to stock as possible, 26" for 215/65 15. But whats the widest I can go on front and rear, with no modifications? Thanks for the help.

No rubbing, on stock rims they'll clear just fine all around.

Once you get new tires, make sure when you get them balanced to ask that they not put weights on the outer side, just the inside... otherwise they tear up the gold stripe around the edge of the rim.
