Default Few questions about tires, and lowering... (Weld rims..)

I have Weld Racing rims on my car now... however, the tire in back, I believe is way too big. (its a 275) I am looking for a aggressive, lowered look, minus the big rear tire. What my car look like with a, say, 255/45/15 rear tire, lowered 2 inches all around with the Weld rims?

If you have Weld racing rims, and your car is lowered, could you please post a picture of your car, and let me know what size rear (and front) tire you are running? Also, how much you have lowered your car (1.7", 2", ect..)

Heres a picture of my car how it sits now...Thanks in advance for any info!!

i'm not sure how much my car is lowered, but i run a 275/60/15 out back.

in the pic in my sig i am running a 275/50/15.

they tuck up nicely although i had to hammer out the inner fenderwell when i got the bigger tire. no biggie though..

not sure how much my car is lowered, but its pretty low. I run 26x10.5-15 M/T sportsman rears or 275/50/15 M/T ET Radials or 26x11.5-15 M/T ET Streets



heres one more pic of it from the side. its an older pic back when my spoiler was not yet painted. its really bright red but my cam phone sucks and it was getting dark.

a 275 tire will tuck under the car with little effort. it looks like you just have the wrong back spacing on the wheels you have now. what is the back spacing on your welds?
