Trying to decide what size tires I should run on a stock set of 15x7 442 rallys? I want thinner up front and wide in the rear. As wide a tire I can fit on the rear. I've read through some of the post here, I didn't see anything about a good size for the front. 255/60 is what I'm seeing for the rear. Please add your advice and experience with this. I dont know anything about it, other than what I'm reading.

Fronts will depend on how your car sits

Thank you for the visual. What size is the rear that is a very nice stance? Forgot I took pics of the Monte. Arlo in the shop with my car. I love the stance on it and took pics. I like the way it sits and after looking through several tire size threads, I've made a decision. 205/70/15 front 255/60/15 rear

<----- has 205/70 on 15x7 and 275/60 on 15x8 (not that you can see very well). I had them on the Bonneville for a minute and the rears rubbed inside. It did look pretty cool, though..
