Tire size?

I HAVE 15X8 REARS AND 15X7 FRONTS...WHAT TIRE SIZES DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST??

215/70/15 and 295/50/15 or 275/60/15

215 for front good width? 70 a lil tall huh?...

i found some on discount tire website.. about $100 each...sound right?

I'd probably run a 235/75 front and 255 or 275/60 on the rear. 215 would look too skinny IMO, unless you're going for a drag truck look.

why not make the front same wall height (75) as the rear (60)?

why not make the front same wall height (75) as the rear (60)?

Because the sidewall height is a percentage of the section width. 75% of 235 (the 75 in "235/75") is probably pretty similar to 60% of 275. About 1cm difference, really.
