No offense intended.... but 15" steel wheels w/50 series tires were better that skinny/tall OE stuff back in the 80's. Do you want the 'look' or the performance?

If it's just the look, that size will work if you dont mind the wheel lip flush or past the front fender-lip. If you want handling..... the real deal, 17" wheel diameter w/current rubber standards are what you need.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
