my question is if there is a big difference in size? i would like to get a pair of 15x8 ss rallys for my rear and 14x7 in the front so it has a forward stance. with a 275/60-15 radial on the back, and a 245/60-14 in the front. Does any body have pics of anything similiar or any suggestions on any other setups?? would really help me out, thanks. should i just get 15x7 all around??

I think you'd be better with 15x7s and 235/60 in front and 15x8 w 4.5" backspacing 275/60 in the rear.

If you are buying 4 new wheels, I would buy the 15x7 front/15x8 rear combo w/a 225-70 on the front to go with the 275 rears. I always liked the 245-60-15 front with the 295-50-15 rear because they are the same diameter and fill the fenderwell nicely. You really do not want to mix 14's and 15's because you can't match the beauty rings very well!

I also like the 295/50-15 on the rear. they look really good. I have some 14x7's already but there pretty beat up, so i might just bite the bullet and by some new rallys. there's a shop here in the san jose, ca. that sells the 15x7 w/ ring and cap for 200 each. which i dont think its bad. saves me shipping and i get to see the product before i buy them. does that price sound reasonable?? I think I am going to go with 15x7 front 15x8 back. thanks guys

Mine had 15x8s all they way around when i bought it. I am sorry but I forget the tire sizes, but I know the back ones were wider. Here is how it looked then.

If you are thinking about buying new wheels, here is another option. Not strictly stock, but period-appropriate. I really like these and have had many positive comments about them.
