Just a quick question. Have 15x8 on rear with 295/50/15 but the fronts are 15x7. Now since there isn't a big selection on 50r15 tires should I go 265/50/15 on the 15x7 or 245/60 I just don't want the miss match in side wall height to make it look funny.

A 245/60 would be a good match actually, the sidewall height should be about the same as the rear. Just narrower.

Ya I think that's what I'm going to go with. Of course before I asked I did research and that was actually what I heard from chevelles.com but I've never had a truck just old school muscle cars like chevelles and novas and just wanted to double check with somebody that has a square body. But thanks. 245/60 it is.
