    Hey Guys.
    I'm trying to get ready for a local car show in 1 week.I want to order the 15 x 8 Magnum 500 Rally wheels (series 57) from Summit.Is anyone running these wheels on the front and are you happy with the fit?Do you think a 245 x 60 tire will fit and would this big a front tire make the car pull around in the truck ruts on the highway?I know a tire this big on a TR really makes the car too hard to drive in this situation.How big a tire will this wheel handle in the back?Thanks in advance.
    Take care.

    Take care.

    I run 245x60R15's on the front of my car. They are on factory 15x7 rims, so I don't know if that will change things. But they do fit nicely in the fender well.

    I have 245/60r15's on front on 15x8 wheels and they work fine. Back spacing is 4.5 I believe.
