Which tire size looks best on 15 in wheels for a GN/T-Type?

[87TR]

I know that stock tires for a GN/T-Type are 215/65 15s.

Would going to a 225/60 15 look better? I think it would look wider with a lower profile.

Any thoughts or pictures showing these tire sizes?

I always thought 235/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear looks best on a 15x7 wheel on a turbo Buick 255/60/15 being a M/T DR :biggrin no thats not my car)My car never gets wet

Then how do you wash it?

235/60/15 will have the same overall diameter as a 215/65/15, and should fit a 7" wide wheel nicely. If you want bigger out back, go with a 255/60 like he said.

I don't wash it, detail spray wipe it down .:biggrin:

See personally, I'm of the mind that if the car doesn't get a little dirty once in a while, I'm not having enough fun with it.

i just put General Tire 275/60R15s in the back and 235/60R15s in the front. The backs fit nicely as do the fronts, however the fronts do rub a little if i turn the wheel all the way pulling into a parking space or something...

Here's mine with 235/60's in the front and 275/60's on the rear. No rubbing issues.

KTrain, where did you find 275 60 15 Generals? Looked on the TireRack and Discount Tire site. I'd like some, too.

Gpadilla 1071- what backspacing do you have on the rear rims? they look good.

They actually discontinued the particular tire I got, and i'm not sure if they have any other styles in that size. I literally called at least 10 places nearby only to find 1 Family Tire that had 1 last pair in their warehouse. I even typed the tire model+size into google and it didnt even come up with responses, so you KNOW that they're limited availability... :frown:
