Widest Tires?
I have 8 inch wide Bullit rims. I was just wondering what the widest tire I could fit on them is. I don't want them to look stupid. I just want the widest I can get that still looks good. Anyone know?

Other than looks is there any advantage of having bigger tires in the rear than in the front?
