I'm looking to buy 15-7 Olds rally 15" rims and I found a good set for a good price. Now im looking for the tire sizes that can fit on kijiji I found BF goodrich tires a pair 255/60/15 and pair of 275/60/15 would this fit on the car?
 
Those would both fit on there. I've had a 245/60 tire up front and it did fine, but my guess is you'd have to watch out on full lock turns. Are they ssiii's? If so nice find. You could possibly need air shocks for the 275/60's, they're a pretty tall tire.
 
i have 275s under my wagon on 15x8 chevy rallies and they tuck up in there perfect. theyll bulge a bit more on 7s but should be ok
 
275/60 is too wide for a 7" rim.
They bow causing the center of the tread surface to wear out prematurely.
Trust me, I tried it on the rear of my Caprice and got less than 20k miles out of the tires. They looked like drag radials by the time I pulled them off...
255/60 is perfect for a stock rim on the rear.
235/60 is as wide as you can go up front, and will still have some slight tire contact with the sway bar with the wheels at full lock.
 
215/65/15
