tire sizes

what size tires do you guys recommend for the front and rear on 10 hole rims? i want as wide as possible on the rear but do not want to have to worry about rubbing. thanks for your input!

i used the search feature [as i should have done in the first place] and it seems that the tire size of choice is 225/60/15..

Yes, 225/60R15 is the stock size for the aero SSPs. On my old '85 CHP (#E408395), I had that size on the front and I put 255/60R15 BFG tires on the back, which were more substantial without being obnoxious (in my opinion) -

Bought this size from Tread Depot.com for my 1990 MSHP SSP during the Black Friday sales reductions last year. I like them and like you stated the selections have become limited. I researched quite a bit on brand options and prices at the time. For the look, price and the brand options this was what I liked the most.

thanks guys....but is there another brand beside bfg that makes a 225/60/15 and 255/??/15 combination? i know the white lettering can be turned inside on the bfgs but would prefer blackwalls both sides. surely there are other choices in this combo? any help or ideas appreciated...

I have Cooper Corba's om mine. 235/60 front and 255/60 or 245/60 out back.

john, any rubbing on the rear? ample clearance mounted
on 10 hole wheels? thanks you for your input!

[John Connor]

No problems with them. On 10 holes and car has 5300B Ford Motorsport springs on it.n

[John Connor]

245 on the back.

i decided to go with 225/255/60s on the car....bfg radial tas. really not much in the way of choices. probably could go just a little larger on the rear if need be. thanks for the help!

There's just something about the wild strawberry 92 coupe's!! Of course I could be a little prejudiced.
