I know I want to run 255/60R15's on the back, but I'm trying to decide on the front size. Will a 245/60R15 fit on the front or do I need to stay with a 235/60R15? Thanks. Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Were those Mopar 15x7 rims: Magnum 500's, rallyes, cop rims, etc...? If so, the Mopar rims are 4.25" backspacing. Whereas the 15x7 cast torque thrusts are 3.75 backspacing. That 1/2" more backspace make room for one size bigger tire like a 225/60/15

They're 14x6's, Not sure what I'm doing with them yet. They may end up on my trailer. I'll have to figure that out. Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
