Rear Tires????

Howdy all,

I know this has been discussed before, but I searched the archives and cannot find an answer. SOOOOO....

What size rear tires are the 15" Fuch crowd running? I ask because I don't think (???) I am going to lower the car, so the 215/60's on the front Fuch's look great, fill out the wheel well, and fit the wheel width perfectly. But, the 215/60's on the rear Fuch's look to skinny for that wheel. So if I kept the 215's in the front, what would be a good match for the rear? 225, 235,245 ???

Or should I lower the car, put 225/50's in the front and 245/50's in the rear?

TIA
Rich

I don't really think you'd need to lower. Thats what I'm running right now and it looks fine.

Hoff - Are you running the 225/50/15's and 245/50/15's on your Fuch's, and they look good in the wheel well? I ask becuase I know even the 245/50 is shorter than the original 215/60's

fty - What size nitto's are you talking about?

I run a 215/60 in front and 235/60 in back. My rear rims are much wider than the front. The tires fill out the fenders nice and I have no rubbing or fitement issues.
