Tire sizes for corvette rally wheels

[Rooster]

I've got a set of 15x8 corvette rallys (AZ code) sitting around and I'm wanting to put them on my 86 Cutlass supreme. I'm thinking about 245/60/15 all the way around.Not sure if that size will work for the front. maybe 235/60/15 in the front,and 245/60/15 in the rear? I know 235/60/15 will work for a 15x7 rim,not sure about 15x8 though. Any pics would be appreciated also.This is a temp.set until i can get funds for a 442/ssIII set.I'm using stock suspension. Again,show pics if you got em'. Thanks in advance.

235 is perfect for the front, I've gone as low as 215s on 8" wide rims...

why not go 255 or 275 for the rear?

First of all to straighten things out... I think vette rallys look great on a gbody... I wouldnt personally use the bequty rings or center caps but i still respect them on a car.

As for the front tires 235/60/15 fit awesomely. I have them on my cutty and love the fit and width.

As for the rears i think you should go big or go home. 275/60/15's

thanks for the clever remarks whitey...

hey stenberg83, I agree, those rims looks good on lots of cars, especially if the rings are removed

I'm running 15x7 vette ralleys with 235 60 15 on the front and 15x8 vette ralleys with 255 60 15 in the rear. a 235 is about 9" (1 mm equals .0398700787 inches) wide so i dont see why you would have a problem running an 8 in ralley on the front

Here's my '87 with 15X8 Vette rallys. 235/60 fronts and 275/60 rears with old style flat centers and Silverado trim rings.
