I want to go with a 15 inch wheel on front and back. I'm not sure what backspace or width... I want to know what the widest tire/wheel combo I could use on the rear is without modification. And then...what would be a good tire/wheel for the front? Pics help if you have some..thanks

I am running 15x8 with a 4.5" BS in the rear,check my sig, 285/60/15 American Racer street slicks. A 275/60 will fit fine. I want to go upto a 15x10 with a 5.5 BS sometime this year. As far as the fronts go.....15x4 on upto 15x8....just watch your BS with the wider you go.
