He wants to use 255/60/15's on the rear and 215/70/15's on the front. Will there be any issues with the 215's rubbing the front fenders? The tires are BFG T/A's and are mounted on 15X7 Keystone Klassics.

Candidly, the 215's will look a little small given you going larger on the back (IMO). In back 275/60 is pretty much the "default" size that will nicely fill the wheel well.

Could even go with 275/60-15's on the same 15x8.5 wheels on the rear if he wanted to. 215/70-15 should be no problem. 7330301-DSC04673a1.jpg (89 downloads)
