Rallye Rims - Question
« on: January 12, 2012 - 12:36:27 PM »
I plan on purchasing new rallye rims..  I'm still undecied on 15x7 or 15x8......  I would like to have the tire sizes the same on all 4..  What would be the biggest tire that you can put on the 15X7 that you could put on all 4 (front & back) that would be the same size?  same question with the 15x8...

I'd run the 15x7's.  You can put a 235-60-15 all the way around.  The 15x8's look really good in the rear but would look out of place on the front IMO.

As burdar said. If you go larger than that, you'll have rubbing issues up front.

FWIW, they don't make 15X8 trim rings(you have to use the ones for a 15X7 wheel), so you can put trim rings on the 15X7's and not have a gap.
