SignUp Now!I have 235/60's up front and 255/60's on the rear. I have had them for 50 thousand miles and when I replace them I will go with the exact same setup. I like the look of the wider tire out back. Also, the rear tire is about 1 inch taller than the front, and I like the subtle rake it gives. It gives the illusion of a lowered front end.
I would recommend 275/60R15s on the rear and 235/60R15s for the front. It has a nice stance and here are pics of my car with this combo.
The lower right is with 275/50R15's on the rear and same front as other pics. The 50's look a little lost in the height department and only 26" tall verses the 60's are 28" tall. A much better choice for tire height for our cars.

why would you do 235 all around ? i wanted to put 225 frt and 245 out back but was not sut if they would rub inside.
Here you go... Same size tires on the GS Suncoupe, front and rear. Just different offset wheels. It is funny how many parts are interchangable between these two cars. Front and rear shocks are the same.
I also just realized that you are running stock wheels which are 7" wide. You really need an 8" rim for the 275/60R15 tire.
Enjoy,

hello people; Nice cars. Just for the fun of it. I was told the GS rims fit the TB. Maybe if you have some time you might give it a shot.
Have fun, great cars.

Well, mine rub on big bumps (Maine the roads are crap) and 235 and the stock 215 are very close in height (26" vs 26.1") but 255 are 27". This is the same as putting 3.29s in the rear, not to mention they are heavier. When you go from the 215 to 235, you gain about .75" in width (8.46" vs 9.25"), which is noticable. 255 are .75" wider again at 10".
The big one for me is the loss off the line feel, but I do have a stock car, and more mods might make it feel a lot less.
Well, I can't find the pic on my computer, but the only one I have is the one I have on Facebook. Try this link Profile Pictures | Facebook
