I have a 82 buick regal and i want to put some 15 by 8s in the front and 15 by 10s inthe back does any one a good back space for these rims for my car. And does any one know how wide and how tall of tires can i put in the back like maby 275/70/15 basicly i want to get as wide as i can in the back with out the tires rubing on the frame or wheel and not sticking out past the quator panel also i have air shocks in the back.Thanks for any help.
 
8's will fit front and rear as long as backspace is right around 4 in. 10's probably won't fit at stock height. Sidewalls will be rubbing on the outsides with a wheel that wide. Same with tires, as 275/60 15 will work, but a 70 series tire may be too tall. They may rub the frame where the frame kicks out behind the rear axle. My 275/60's barely clear with just an occasional rub, but I don't think a 70 series will work. Use the search function and you'll find numerous posts about tire and wheel sizes that should answer your inquiry.
