HI, have 12 inch wilwood front and 12 inch baaer back and looking new wheels and tires. Car still in the body grill why cannot measure anything so lets see what kind of sets we have here.

Currently 295/50/15 back and that works with the Baer brakes but looking whats the max size with longest lip to rear, no changes in the body.
- wheel size 15x10?
- Offset ?
- Back Space?
- tire at the minium 295/150/15 but also looking tires that also works in the track and not only strip

Same for front
- wheelsize 15x8?
- offset ?
- backspace?
- tire now 235/60/15 but can be little bit bigger one.

looking like but must be 15 and fit to the existing brakes size in both side.

About tires size and rims fitting, there is a thread around written by Paul_G which is a very good testimonial and experiment about what he got as the max size posible without mods at least on rear. I don't have the time right now to search for it, but make the search.

But the disc brake setup and rim diameter accepting that is not on that thread. However I think still could be helpfull making the maths.
