Which Styled Steel Wheel?

[RustyRed]

I was told by multiple sources that there would be no rubbing issues.

I've heard the same thing from lots of folks so you may be ok. I've also heard that rolling the fenders is not really a big deal so that would be your worse case.

FWIW, I has 225/60/15's on the front with rolled the fenders. There was some rubbing on sharp turns. To eliminate this and drop the front a little more, I switched to 205's. Here's an old photo:

My new wheels / tires came in yesterday. Got them on the car but can't get a good picture of them in the garage and it's too rainy to bring the car outside right now.

The 225's on 7 inch wheels for the back though are a vast improvement in appearance compared with the 205 - 14's that were on it. I opted to go with 205 - 15's on a six inch wheel on the front and they look much better as well.

If it's less rainy tomorrow I'll try to get some pictures.

I think I made the right decison with the 15x7s all the way around, but now I am kicking myself for not doing a 215 on the front. Ugh...I hate buyer's remorse....should I have done 15x6's.... :sad

Wait until you get things on the car and see what it looks like. Don't get worked up yet.......

Thanks Pete. I needed that. :good

Yep....every car sits different, even with all the same parts. See what it is like when you get all the parts in one place, then decide about any possible changes. Be gentle with the new wheels and tires and some places will work an exchange with you. May involve some shipping but would be worth it.

I know someone running 15x7's all the way around with 215's and claims they don't rub with no fender rolling.

It "should" work for you but the best way to find out is give it a try.

I had checked with Bill over at CJ and he said as long as my car wasn't lowered the 215's would work on the front. When I called though they wanted to back order the 215's so I said screw it and opted for the 205's since I was still a bit nervous about clearance issues.

CJ's on their website has a caution statement against 7's on the front but it's probably more cya then anything else.

Better late then never but here's a picture I took today that shows the new wheels / tires
