Im trying to decide what size tires im going to put on my gbody. Im thinking of 215/70/r15 in the front and 245/60/r15 or 275/60/r15 or 245/70/r15 so iif you can stcs so i can see how it looks thanks.
 
I like 235/60/15s up front as its stock height for a GN/442/MCSS only a little beefier with a 275/60/15 in the rear on a 15x8.
 
biggest in the back on a 7" wheel and 4" backspacing is a 255/60. if you go 15x8 you can do a 275 on a 4" b.s. wheel (so i've heard)
 
In the front i have 4 1/4 backspace and the rear have 2.5 backspace on a 8 inch wheel. So does anyone know the tire size i can run in the back.
 
215/65R15 all the way around on mine...

I used to think the same thing, but I've since started to see people running 275/60s on 7" rims... must be the tall sidewall that makes it work, cuz I've never seen a 275/50 on less than a 8" rim.
