Gonna be needin' tires on the Ranchero soon. The car has a set of chrome 5 spoke wheels that I like on the car. 15x7 chrome U.S. Supremes. I think they fit the look of the car currently, and frankly... I can't afford anything else.
Car is currently wearing 205/65s on the front and 205/70s on the back. The tires rub as is, but I will remedy the rubbing thing very soon. Still working out my options for that.
The goal is the best street tire size for this sized wheel on this car. 205s look a little skinny on that wheel. I was thinking of running a 225/50 or 60 on the front and a 245 50-60 on the rear. I am not shooting for the best looking tire size but the best functioning. It seems that the contact patch should be about the same size as the wheel width for handling purposes and the widest tire you can put on the wheel for traction.
What is the best tire size I could put on those wheels for function purposes?
Are there any holes in my thought process?
