I put 245/60/15's on mine. About the max you can do without rubbing. Also, I have them on a 7.5 deep wheel.

Yeah, they have to be shorter the wider you go or it will rub. I have mine lowered 3 inches, so, it's the biggest I can go. I've attempted a 255/70 on the front, but they will rub horribly. The 245/60 is about 25MM wider and 20 shorter. The first number (245) is measured in MilliMeters I believe, measures the width. The second number (60) is the percentage of the first number, for the height. I can get pictures of mine if you need an idea of what it looks like.

Well, they handle pretty good. It's a Kelly Charger, I got it from Belle Tire. I think they're like a 55,000 mile tire and I got them for about 35 bucks each. I've had no problems..
