Will there be any clearance problems, front or rear, using 15″ x 7″ wheels with a 60 profile tire? Would a different profile tire be better with respect to clearance, or are these wheels just too big?

Thanks.

Fred.. profile is a percentage of width.. so depending on what width the tyre is..

The wider the tyre the lower the profile you will need. also the wheels offset will play a big role in how it affects the front. The leading edge of the tyre can catch the valence on lock with the tigers.. i just switched tyres.. and found out to my own cost..

15×7 would be very wide for the front.. and likely you would need a 205 tyres minimum.. id say 15×6 front and 7 rear.. and selct your tyres cerfully.. and check the lower frnt valence on full lock both ways..
