What if a guy were to run that but a 15x7 in the front, should the tire sidewall be shorter or would the rim width not affect the tallness of the sidewall??I'm going with the staggered look and don't want the rear lower than the front.

I am thinking about going with a 195/55/15. Cause it will keep the wheel wells filled up so there is no gap

so are you saying even if i have a 2 inch drop with a tire sz of 195/50/15 there will still be a gap between the tire and fender?

I have a small gap with the stock tires and my setup. The front its a finger gap and back 1/1/2 finger gap. The setup I would love is coilovers with my rims and a 175/55/15. I think that would look very good.
