When I look at my front tires, they sit perfectly with just the right amount of tire out of the wheel well. But the rear tires are inside the wheel well a lot more. What is the correction for this? I'd like the rear tires to have as much exposure as the front tires. | | | Re: Front Tires Rear Tires | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 3,455 Likes: 23 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 3,455 Likes: 23 | Some people are against them but you can add some 1" spacers. Or wider rear rims or a little more reverse on the rim. Just a few ideas.

That is why a lot of custom vans run a wider rear wheel than the front, it makes them look more even. | | | Re: Front Tires Rear Tires | Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,397 Likes: 64 veteran | veteran Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,397 Likes: 64 | I believe wheels should be so wide flares are necessary..lol wall to wall and tree top tallðŸ˜ðŸ˜

My 1975 Chevy Van G20 shorty had white wagon wheels with 60's in the front and 50's in the rear and I loved the look and ride. I've got 15x8's all around on this 1993 and they have 255/70 on them. Don't know how wide I can go with my 15x8. | | | Re: Front Tires Rear Tires | Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,397 Likes: 64 veteran | veteran Joined: May 2018 Posts: 2,397 Likes: 64 | 255/60 r 15 is a good size on 15X8 you can go 275/60 but center may wear a little bit fast.
