Default my tires

How wide of tires do you think i could fit up in the front of my car. Do you think it would be possible to fit 225s in the front. Do you think i could go any bigger. I was just wondering. Also what size wheel do you think i will need with 275/50/15, what size wheel do u think i will need. Also any offset or backspacing. Any help would be appreciated

you can fit 235s in front, but they rub a bit. as for the rear i think 275 is the most. your need 7.5 inch rims for 275.

225s are stock so they better fit....

In my Sig I have 275/35/18's in the front and 285/30/18's in the rear
thats because you have a sn95, those would never come close to fitting on the fron of my car...[:@]

Yup, no reason to run any wider than a 225 in the front for a straight line street car (none that I see atliest).

+1 also px429's car is a sn-95 body style and they fit much bigger tires front and rear then the fox-4 cars do.

You need a 9" wheel for 275's. 7.5" is far too narrow it will look really bad.

245/40/r17 up front and no rubbing, are you buying all new wheels and tires? if so you need to decide on what size rims you want first, imo, 17" are best, then decide what width they are available in then choose tire size and 275 is a bigger size for the rear let alone for the front.
