        275 is about the biggest you can go on that rim and that should be plenty if you buy the right tire for it.

          If you want streetability I would suggest buying wider wheels in front. With that small of the wheel your tires wil be very skinny and it will grab the groves in the road. I would get at least 15x5". Shoot I think the aveo's have wheels that are 5.5 wide.

            275/50/15 in the back...

            the fronts are you looking to keep it skinny and fattys for tires or what??? if wanting the skinny fatty look go with a 26/6/15 if you wanna go more street looking u need something wider then a 4 in the front for a rim width

              well I sure hope these are track only tires, I know they aren't suited for daily driving on these shitty ass roads.

                its a daily driver. i want the old school fatty look but keeping streetability.

                the only rim sizes are 15x4, 15x7, 15x8, or 15x10

                so it looks like 275/50/15 for the back. the front i want the best streetable tire size. or do i need to get a wider rim?

                  You just bought wheels and tires? If your using this setup for a DD and to drive on then yes you have to ditch the 15x4 front wheel size. Might as well just go 15x8 all around with a smaller tire up front.

                      I am sure you "could" run the 15x10 wheel and throw some 315's on there would be nice, but that may require some BFH mod time...

                        those are not good rims for daily driving they will bend on the potholes around here. Thats why they are track wheels.

                          im in north carolina in a marine corp base. not alot of pot holes here. and really not that many where i used to live.

                          so front rim/tire should i go with the 4, 7, or 8 in rim and what tire to match it?

                          thanks

                            if you get on a expressway at 70 and go into a curve with a 4" rim it gets sketchy lol just a warning.

                              Get 15x7s in the front with 215 or 225 if you wanted to stay on the skinny side
