Re: What front wheel size will look better
I would do 235 75 15 upfront but I prefer a level look with a wider tire outback

X2 on the 235/75 15. That tire will be 28.9" tall, 1" shorter than rear.

Re: What front wheel size will look better
The 225/60's will be 27.6" tall and the 225/65" will be 28.5" tall. With either one you shouldn't have any rub problem on the drop spindles.

Re: What front wheel size will look better

Re: What front wheel size will look better
I'd prefer the 28.5 cause it will fill up the wheel well for a better look. Also you'll get a little more roll out when you go into the staging lights at the strip.
