I know this topic is SO over done. Thing is there is a million tire wheel size combos, and everyone wants that perfect look, so I guess its understandable that this topic always comes up.
I did an even trade today, my wheels and tires I had (15x8.5, 15x10 torq thrusts bad tires) for a set of magnum 500s. 15x7 front and 15x8 rear. I really wanted 15x7's on all 4s but the 8's will do. I want the car to look more level and "stockish" and have been looking at 235/60/15 for the front and 245/60/15's for the rear. If I had the cash, Id spring for coker Firestone Wide Ovals, but BFG's, Firestone, or even Coopers will work.
Im fairly confident that the 235's up front will work/look fine. But Im also considering a narrower 215/65 tire for the front. The rear, im torn between an even 234, 245, or even a 255/60/15. I dont want a too wide of tire on the back, Id rather all 4's look about the same as far as height and width go.
Any photos of 15x7 front 15x8 rear magnums on 69/70 cougars? And what tire size is on it.
Here is what I got for trade
pretty good shape, almost perfect, will add a new coat of black to the windows and probably get the black cougar caps. These are steelies but have the aluminum american racing caps with it...
Need to get tires soon! not sure how much the neighbors will like this...The coog looks kinda sad, but anxious for new shoes. I dont know I kinda like the steelies!
Say by by to the 80's rack stagger look it had, thank god.
