Default Tire/Wheel Sizes

I know there are hundreds of posts on this, but I'll ask anyway. Ready for tires and wheels....thinking 275/60R15 on 15x8 wheels in the rear and 215/70R15 on 15x7 wheels in the front. Have front discs and want red lines. I managed to find that combo....how do you think that will look. Going for steelies and dog dish for the 'look'....interested in POVs....thanks....

What bs on the rear wheel? 5"? I run 215/70-15's on 15X7" wheels on front. I find that size rides and steers better for me.

4.75....sourcing from Coker....can't find them anywhere else. They offer a 15x10 that has a 5" BC. Need to be sure those wheels will accept dog dish hubcaps....thanks for the feedback on 215's....sounds like I'm in the right direction

275/60/15's on 15" x 8", 4-1/2" BS on the rears and
235/60/15's on 15" x 7", 4" BS on the front.
Chrome Rallye II's.

I'm about a week or two away from getting my car back, but this combo looks darned good in the shop.

I had 245/60's on front and loved the look. Hated the ride from the git go. After a few thousand miles of use I realized that for me they just took some of the fun out of a car ride. I don't road race, sooooooo...they are now taking up space in my miniwarehouse. 215's installed and it's a real car again.
