Wheel/Tire Fit Question

[khan0165]

I used to have 255/60R15s on the rear of my GP, they fit very well. I wanted something bigger tho and went to 275/60R15
for whatever reason, the 255s dimensionally are not much smaller than a 275, but they didn't feel much bigger than a 235

here's a 215/65 on 15x7 wheels upfront, and 275/60 on 15x8 wheels on the back
I think the 7" wheel has 3.5" backspacing, and the 8" wheel has 4"

That's exactly what I want them to look like. I'll be getting these wheels: http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS+Performance+ ... 1/10002/-1
Front and rear have 3.75" backspacing, so I might need spacers.

The reccomended wheel width for 255/60 is 7"-9", so it should be fine.

Here's the 15x10 295/50r15 wheels.

15x10 from the back

Because they're 3.25" backspacing, this is what the offset looks like.

Thanks for the pics 87regalkid. That's pretty much what mine looked like with a 10" wheel. The look just didn't fit the look of my car, but it works well with yours.

Now the question is: which wheels should I get? These http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/500/555/555-671013.jpg or these http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/500/555/555-671110.jpg

I'm leaning in the direction of the first one...
