What size tires work/look best on stock GN wheels?

[Pats-GN]

I think mine had 215/65's, they looked kind of small, what do you guys go with. TIA

I put 235/60/15 all tha way around. Others have put wider tires on the rear, but I think 235/60/15 is the limit for the front (someone posted that 245/60/15 rubbed in the front). I'm sure others have run 50 series tires front and back, and will post additional sizes.

I run 215/65/15 and 275/50/15 BFG Radials in the rear
on a stock GN rim with no problem.

235/60/15 is the way to go especially with the fronts. They say on a 7" rim min. 215's and max 235's. If you go anywhere less or more it will start to look funny

I have 235/45/17's on the front of my car and they rub at the full turning lock. It's totally driveable, but just have to remember that when backing out of a parking spot or something.

I've got Nitto 275-50-15s in the rear and stock rubber on the front. They are mounted to Weld Rodlite 15X8 rims in the rear and 15X7 in the front. If you want to see what it looks like I have a link in my signature for pics.

275 50 15 bfg drag radials fit but you may need aWHEEL SPACER
235/245 60 work very good it is a better fit on the stock rim
275 50 look better on a8.5 in rim and you dont need wheel spacers.

TRBON8R, whats the backspacing on your 15x8?

alex,

Backspacing on both front and rear rims is 3.5".

I'm using P235-60-15 on stock 7" GN rims for the front, and P275-60-15 on custom made 8" wide GN rims with 3 1/2" rear spacing, with absolutely NO tire rubbing. That's it!
Pics available...e-mail me or post request here...
'Bye, Claude. : )

I have 235/60-15's on the front, but they rub on tight turns and really steep bumps. 255/60-15 on the rear. I like the look of this combo on my T, but I'd like to try 275/50-15's on the rear next. ??

Anybody got pics with the 235/60's all the way around? I want the stock look for shows.

thanks
