Tyres front to back

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking to pick up some Convo Pros and rubber to suit in the near future, I've just about done my nut thinking about sizes and below is where my head is at right now, or it was until I saw a photo of that combo (read on)

 

* For the front 15 x 6 with 205/60 tyres

* For the rear 15 x 9 with 275/60 tyres

 

 

Judge has a set for sale at the moment that is spot on (http://www.xfalcon.com/forums/index.php?/topic/40309-ford-pre-au-convo-pros-with-275-mickey-thompson-street-slicks/) but the rears look so much larger than the fronts, distractingly so. I know the backs are Mickeys so they will look a little different. My calculations say that the diameter should only about 8.4cm different between the front and back, but it looks so much larger than that, it might well be only 8cm but it appears more.

 

What do you think about mixing and matching profiles to try to get them to look the same? a 275/50 would only be 2.9cm difference, under half the original difference from the 275/60. It sounds like a good idea but I feel like I'm breaking some sort of unspoken rule of selecting rubber.

 

Thoughts?
