I want to get new tires and wheels for my '92 GT, but don't know what will fit. What I would like to get is 15x7 Weld draglites in the font with 215/50/15 tires and get 15x8 Weld Draglites in the rear with 275/60/15 tires. I would bet Goodyear T/A for tires in the front and rear.

Do you guys think this is a good set up? Will everything fit without rubbing? If not, what is the biggest tire i can fit?

Thanx

Everything should fit fine, but the rear will be very close. You'll have to at the very least flip the quad shocks, or even remove them all together. You probably want 225/60/15's in the front so the sidewall height matches the front.

I think 265/60/15 is about it with no worries.
