I like the Pro Street look without the skinnies up front. I actually prefer a wider front tire for a little street driving. My front wheel was going to be a 15x6 but is going to be a 15x5 because of a good deal that I got. What tire size do you recommend to get a little side tire bulge.

I was thinking like a 225/60. Would that be too much. My rears will be a 15x10 with 5.5bs. with a 325/50/15. I would like it to fill up the front like this wheel fills up the back. Going with a good ole BFG radial.

205/75-15 is a nice size, or if you want BFG, they only make a 70 series, so a 215/70-15.
The 225/60-15 would be too wide for that rim.

Yes, 205-75 or 215-75, I have used them both depending on how tall my rear tires were. I used the 205-75 front w/295-50 rear and a 215-75 front with a 275-60. Anything wider really bulges on a 5" wheel.
