I was told this car was running:

225 60 R15 on a 7 inch rim (Front) BS 3.5
275 60 R15 on a 8 inch rim (Rear)  BS 4.5

When I noticed the rears nearly looked flush with the wheel well I began to think that not only was the rear BS incorrect but perhaps the tires as well. The Rims are http://www.americanracing.com/browse_ar.asp (Outlaw I's) and the BS given (in the AR website) for the rears seems to match what the photo looks like better than the claimed 4.5 BS.

Do you guys think either the front or the rear tires look another size than what is listed above?

They sure do look wider than what you posted. Do you have an A$$ shot somewhere?

No good rear shots, all I have are blurry shots or bad photo shots for comparing tires. Incase any one is wondering most of these photo's are from old posts on the site.

Im thinking either 295's or 325's in the rear. I have 275's and those seem wider. Again its hard to say, but that my opinion.

i would guess 275 - they look taller than typical 295's and narrower than 325s...

Front: I run with 215s, and those look ever so slightly wider. So I'll go with 225, could be 235.

Rear: I run 295s and those are not as wide. So I'll go with 275.

Does it really matter? They look like real good tread.

No, it really doesn't matter just wanted to get an opinion from a few of you. I liked the way this car sits and thought you more experienced people could take a look at it and give me you're opinions on the sizes.

:2thumbs: Thank you all for your help!

They look like 275 on the rear, but with a 10" rim.

Interesting observation, in most of these shots I posted you don't see any tire meat on the side walls of the rear tires.
