I was thinking 225/255 in re760's but I'm not too sure yet. I don't really need good tires. I'm fine with just "decent" tires since I don't race or anything. anymore tire / sizing suggestions?

OEM sizing 215/245 looks better than 225/255 with the side wall size. The aspect ratio on the bigger sizings does make the wheel well look beefy. But both fit well.

i had 225 fronts when i was rocking 8.5 fronts, and they blew up my fenders lol. i think it'll look ok, and it'll be even in the width ratio...

it all depends on the design of the tires as well, for some reason some companies 215s look like 225s and vice versa

I'm running star specs. 215 up front. 255 in back. The star specs run a little wide. I think this set up looks perfect. It looks way more agressive than OEM. I saw an ap2 with starspecs and had 225 up front. The 225's looked too wide for the 7" rim. The sidewall looked pinched. The 215's are like 225's. I also wanted cr spec tire sizes with cr spec alignment. Check some of the last car cruise pics from this weekend. Can see how my ties look.


Other tires you will have to see how they look and how wide they are even though they say the same size. Not all tires are the same exact size even though they say so.
