Are the wheels all the same size (15x8)? If so, Streetstars suggestion would look very consistent.

If the wheel widths are staggered, I prefer to stagger tire sizing equally. So if you choose a 215 on the front & the rear wheel is 1" wider, the rear tire size would be a 245 or as close as possible. This keeps the tire 'buldge' equal F/R.

I use the thinner van ralleys on front (6.5") w/215's & ususally put 255's on 8" ralleys on the back.
