Reply to "215/60 15 Front Tires?"

Maybe we did not discuss that previously. I assumed 7 and 8s or 8 and 10s, not 7 and 10s.

I assume per tire width recommendations the 215 width is better for the 7" wheel than the 8" wheel if I'm going that route. Seem to remember also reading something about a more vertical sidewall will perform better than a rolled out sidewall or something to that effect although we are talking minimal changes. Guess I shouldn't be referring to a performance issue since I'm considering 15s with BFG TAs.

Just wonder about the appearance of 7" and 10" combination. Am I correct in thinking the 7" wheels still provide the same front track except for the tire offset on the wheel? I have actually thought the taller 215 tire would compliment the 295/50 rear better than the 225 which appears a bit small. What are the risks of 215 on 8" wheels if any?

Dang I just put many hours in refinishing my 8" wheels and my 7"s are early series with round edges.

Thanks for the suggestion and any other comments.
