Can anyone recommend a tire size for the stock 15" steel wheels? I would like to go as wide as possible, but not too tall. Car will be lowered. Additionally, is there any benefit to staggering the tires (smaller tires in front)? Sizes front vs. rear?

there is more room up front for tires and wheels than in the rear. The rear is where you will have fitment issues.
with stock steelies (5.5x15?) you can run 205s or 195s or 185s depending on what you want. 205 50 15s on 5.5 Fuchs and 205 50 15s (V710s are very wide for their size) on 7" steelies Attached image(s)

When I switch to 5-bolts, I'll be installing Fuchs, but for right now, I'm going with stock wheels. Looking for something low/wide. Those pics on the car are 205/50-15 all around? |
