ok, a while ago i replaced my worn front tires with 205 60 14 tires. now that the back tires are worn id like to move those to the back and get a wider tire for the front. would it be ok to get a 215 60 or a 215 55? would there be any rub and would the tire even fit on the rim? thanx in advance

It shouldn't be a problem to fit them. Although I doubt you would rub, why would you want to make the front tires wider than the back. I know the front tires do the pulling, but I always do the opposite: wide rear, narrower front. .02

humm..if I was racing, I would use wider tires in front than back on a FF car...but that's just me. :p like a 225/40 front and 215/45 on rear or something.

i dont see any proplem with going with larger front tires then rear tires wouldnt make to big a difference in size though just kind of look weird but thats just my thoughts on the matter:devil:
