Default Pict of 15" tires

Ok guys I need some pictures of your 15" wheels and tires. I'm trying to decide what size tires I want to run. I'm thinking about 225/60/15 all around. but I dont know if the 225 will be too wide up front. but I want the widest possible for the look. the front has the Shelby drop and 1" lowering spring on a 65 coupe. any ideas will be helpful.
Thanks
Johnny

The backspacing on the rims is one thing you need to post, that will tell what width tire you can fit. I have 225/60/15 on 15X7 TTD's w/3.75"bs and had to roll the fenders on my '67. If I could have found 4.25"bs they would have cleared. But a '65 will be a little different. I probably would have cleared w/215's on the front.



Edit, forgot to add the pic.

My new set will be on it about 1-2 weeks. I currently have 15x7s all around, 205/60R15 fronts and 215/60R15 rears. They are too big IMO, so for my new set I have 15x7 front and 15x8 rear with 205/50R15 fronts and 225/50R15 rears.

Old Set:
